What is project time management?

The primary purpose of project time management is to develop and control the project schedule. Any project has a timeline by which it is expected to be completed and a well managed project is expected to complete by the set timelines.

This is accomplished by performing the following components:

1. Define activities - Identify all the work activities that need to be scheduled to produce the project deliverables.

2. Sequence activities - Identify the dependencies among the activities that need to be scheduled so that they can be scheduled in the correct order.

3. Estimate activity resources - For each schedule activity, estimate the types of resources needed and the quantity for each type.

4. Estimate activity durations - Estimate the time needed to complete each schedule activity.

5. Develop schedule - Analyze the data created in the previous steps to develop the schedule.

6. Control schedule - Control changes to the project schedule.
