Schedule management is the process of developing, maintaining, and communicating schedules for time, resources, and activities to achieve a project or operational goal. It involves identifying the tasks to be performed, estimating the time and resources required for each task, sequencing the tasks in a logical order, and then monitoring and controlling the schedule as work progresses. Effective schedule management is crucial for completing projects on time and within budget, and for ensuring that resources are utilized efficiently.
