(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Hello planers,
I am about to make presentation why project scheduling is important. But i am stuck!
Please help me to come up with few points why it is important.
Thanks

Hi Dan,
In addition to the above list, (especially if you are presenting it to non-contruction people) The project schedule or programme is your Road Map, without it you will be lost, because you do not know where you are and where you are going.
Cheers!
Shareef wrote (a very good list!):
"4. Knowing the delay of project"
I'd add:
a. Identifying schedule variances.
b. Prioritizing those variances (CP? Amount of float?)
c. Seeing their impact(s).
d. Ameliorating their impact(s) (i.e., avoiding delay of the project) by targeting future big drag items on the critical path.
e. Accelerating the project where there is incentive to do so.
f. Eliminating, of the millions of possible ways the project could actually go, the ONE that you have actually planned and scheduled!
Fraternally in project management,
Steve the Bajan
Hi Shareef,
Thanks! Sometime the brain just shuts down.
I am now back on track

Dan
