Document Summary

There are six main processes involved in project time management. Defining activities involves identifying the specific activities that the project team members and stakeholders must perform to produce the project deliverables. The main outputs of the defining activities process are an activity list, activity attributes, and milestone list. Sequencing activities involves identifying and documenting the relationships between project activities. Estimating activity durations involves estimating the number of work periods that are needed to complete individual activities. Developing the schedule involves analyzing activity sequences, activity resource estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the project schedule. Controlling the schedule involves controlling and managing changes to the project schedule. Outputs from controlling the schedule include work performance measurements, organizational process assets updates, change requests, project management plan updates, and project document updates. The activity attributes provides schedule-related information about each activity, such as predecessors, successors, logical relationships, leads and lags, resource requirements, constraints, imposed dates, and assumptions related to the activity.
