Skills and Knowledge of Cost Engineering: Scheduling

摘要

The following chapter is an introduction into the skills and knowledge of scheduling. Scheduling includes the concept of updating, logic, and date processing, in accordance with the project execution plan that is a deliverable from the planning process (See Chapter 12, Project Planning.) Scheduling provides a way of contributing input during project execution concerning means, methods, techniques, sequences, or other conditions affecting outcomes. It uses the baseline established in planning and aligns the update of the schedule as a methodology of updating and analysis to allow for periodic progress and forecast reporting. Additionally, it establishes a basis for change management and project execution control to achieve successful outcomes.
