Hi
The type of schedule used is directly related to the size, scope, and complexity of the project’s planning, reporting, management and controlling needs. Types of schedule include the following:
[li]Milestone[/li]
[li]Bar charts (sometimes referred to as Gantt charts)[/li]
[li]Critical Path Method (CPM)[/li]
[li]Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)[/li]
[li]Linear schedule[/li]
[li]Line-of-balance[/li]
[li]Rolling wave[/li]
[li]List or Punch list[/li]
At key times in the life of a project, the type of schedule may change from one format to another, such as from a graphical presentation to a simple list of requirements or visa versa.
During the life cycle of the project different control level schedules may be used to depict the schedule, contractual issues and concerns, or schedule progress for the various stakeholders.
Thanks
Smith
