PMH SCHEDULING CONSIDERATIONS 2
Scheduling means uncertainties.
Uncertainties of the project in availabilities, productivities, competences and capacities of the collaborators, prices of inputs, etc., hence the need to determine the acceptable project risk (%) to the owner in terms of terms and costs.
The schedule is the map and the compass of the project to know the route to follow, the progress, people, resources, money, and necessary time.
n the relay races that constitute the project, visualize the sticks –kuantos- of each race to identify the runners who carry them and know where they go.
