Managing the Schedule
Completion requirements
This chapter discusses a variety of tasks and techniques that the project manager must use when managing the project schedule. Tracking and reporting the project, as well as resource leveling, are discussed.
Contingency Resources
One method of accelerating the schedule is to add activities to the critical path that are empty or that are optional. If the project is behind schedule, the time can be made up by dropping these activities. This extra time that is built into the schedule is called contingency time, buffer, or reserve time.
