Scheduling Pitfalls!

Scheduling is an important factor for projects of all types and sizes, as mistakes associated with timing, material deliveries and processes can be very costly.

According to a study published by Angotti Engineering of CA, three of the top project schedule risk factors include:

• Optimistic Scheduling - "tell them what they want to hear" without regard to real and practical limitations.
  
• Piling on People – All will go well if we throw people at the project, especially at crisis points.
  
• Refusing to anticipate learning curves when new people, tools or processes are introduced.
