Scheduling -the art of knowing what is happening |
Why a scheduler
Like everything else in life, the more you do
something, the better you get at it. A skilled scheduler can
not only affectively track how a project is going. They will
give you an idea of what is going to happen in the future.
Resource planning
A key skill a scheduler brings is knowledge of
what resources are being used when. Make sure your
people are not double booked, know what affect
someone taking holidays is going to have. Basically,
gain the knowledge of the project so you can fix the
problems before they happen.
Know what you are spending
Affectively track what you have spent at any given
moment. Make sure cost are being controlled and keep
your project profitable.
Stay on schedule
It is easy to be relaxed about the schedule when
the deadline is a year away, but time lost now may
kill your project. Ensuring schedule compliance from
the start, means your project will get delivered on
time at the end. |
