project scheduling provides a…
detailed plan that represents how and when the project will deliver the products, services, and results as defined in the project scope and serves as a tool for communication, managing stakeholders’ expectations, and a basis for performance reporting
When possible, the detailed project schedule should remain…
flexible throughout the project to adjust for knowledge gained, increased understanding of the risk, and value-added activities
iterative scheduling with a backlog
a form of rolling wave planning based on adaptive life cycles, such as the agile approach for product development
on-demand scheduling
This approach, typically used in a Kanban system, is based on the theory-of constraints and pull-based scheduling concepts from lean manufacturing to limit a team’s work in progress in order to balance demand against the team’s delivery throughput
