Project Schedule Planning
Completion requirements
The bulk of the work in the planning phase revolves around the project scope, schedule, and budget. As you read through this chapter, pay special attention to how the work of the project is defined, how project resources are identified, how deliverables are decomposed into tasks that are logically sequenced, and how the work breakdown structure helps a project manager stay on top of the work of the project.
Leads and Lags
Sometimes you need to give some extra time between activities. Lag time is when you purposefully put a delay between the predecessor task and the successor. For example, when the bride and her father dance, the others wait awhile before they join them (Figure 10.6).
