Plan Schedule Management is part of the “Time Management” Knowledge Area, and is part of the “Planning” Process Group.
Plan Schedule Management is the process of establishing the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing, and controlling the project schedule. The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and direction on how the project schedule will be managed throughout the project.
The schedule management plan is a component of the project management plan. The schedule management plan may be formal or informal, highly detailed or broadly framed, based upon the needs of the project, and includes appropriate control thresholds. The schedule management plan defines how schedule contingencies will be reported and assessed. The schedule management plan may be updated to reflect a change in the way the schedule is managed. The schedule management plan is a major input into the Develop Project Management Plan process, as referenced in Section 6.1.3.1.
