1.3.2 Perform Schedule Management

Schedule management provides for the development and maintenance of the master schedule and the detailed, interrelated schedules covering the total program or project to completion.
 
Plans and schedules should provide for uncertainty and the unknown. The importance of early problem recognition cannot be overemphasized. The costliest aspect of a development program is time. Slippages in a program schedule are extremely expensive. A permanent record of all changes and slippages should be kept to allow trend analyses.
