  Schedule (project management) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Critical chain project management warns that terminal-element start dates and finish dates function as random variables, and suggests managing a project not by its traditional schedule but rather by using buffer management and a relay race mentality.
Before a project schedule can be created, a project manager should typically have a work breakdown structure (WBS), an effort estimate for each task, and a resource list with availability for each resource.
The reason for this is that a schedule itself is an estimate: each date in the schedule is estimated, and if those dates do not have the buy-in of the people who are going to do the work, the schedule will be inaccurate.

 Project Management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Project management is different from general management in that general management is concerned with managing the ongoing routine and repetitive operations of an organization.
Project management certainly includes people issues but they are related more to the specific objectives of the project rather than the ongoing concerns of the organization and individual.
One of the disadvantages of the matrix structure is that it divides authority and responsibility for a project between the project manager and the managers of the functional units.

 Project Management Process
At the start of any project, there will be a variety of ideas and opinions about the purpose and scope of the project, what the final product of the project will be, and how the project will be carried out.
The overall project schedule is not at a sufficient level of detail to enable the allocation of actual resources to tasks, or to control progress.
Project Kick Off is therefore concerned with producing a plan of the work required to produce a plan for the whole project.

 Project Management
Project reporting technology has evolved from: (1) paper-based systems which were hard and expensive to keep up to date, (2) desktop software which made tracking and report generation more cost-effective, and (3) now to online web-based systems which provide the enormous benefit of dynamic real-time status reporting.
A Project Requirements document is typically used at the initiation of project to communicate to the Project Manager the project mission and scope, and enable the Project Sponsors (often with a signed Executive Committee approval) to allocate a budget and officially indicate acceptance, agreement, and start date.
A project is successful when the objectives of the project have been achieved to the full satisfaction of the sponsors and project team; all closeout activities have been completed, and all designated stakeholders, especially the project sponsor or initiator officially accept the project results or products and close the project.
