• Be able to sell to management the requirements of building a schedule correctly to ensure success in understanding the overall project and how interactions within other departments or projects affect their projects as well as impacts to other projects.

The schedule is the one thing which we all agree is a part of every project, but what is a good schedule compared to something that just appears? Understanding the facets of a good schedule is critical in understanding the ROI differences between a good schedule and something which resembles a schedule.
