What is planning and scheduling? Time is money,
we all know that. Project Management Triangle is
known as Triple Constraint, or the Iron Triangle.
Time is one of its constraints. The criterion for
success in a project is its timely completion.
Scheduling and planning are key areas of Project
Management in Engineering, Construction and
Project Management. Planning and Scheduling
techniques and tools can increase the likelihood
of project delivery on time. Scheduling and
Planning professionals are more paid than their
peers with similar experience because they play a
critical role in ECPM projects. Planning and
Scheduling are sub-functions of Project Controls
in the ECPM industry. Project Controls includes
planning and controlling both time and costs. The
Planning and Scheduling function in an ECPM
project is essentially project planning in terms
of construction methods times, preparation of a
baseline schedule approval, application of
baseline updates, project performance
measurement, delay analysis, and project
performance measurement. Proficient Planning and
Scheduling professionals should have knowledge
and skills in Project Management basics, Critical
Path Methods and Earned Value Management (EVM),
and other related areas.
