Management of the project schedule
The construction of a schedule follows a precise and structured approach in six phases. In a predictive environment, the detailed planning will be done before the project with the aim of minimizing the changes during the project to follow the baseline as closely as possible. In agile, iterative, adaptive and hybrid project environments, global plans will first be defined to meet the initial requirements and then refined at each phase of the project life cycle.
WBS Definition
The WBS (Work breakdown Structure) corresponds to the division of the project into different batches according to what has been defined in the perimeter management plan. This decomposition can depend on the organizational structure of the company and follow a functional division of the project / product or represent the phases of the project life cycle. The WBS allows perimeter tracking and deliverables easier to manage. Associated with the costs, it offers the possibility to follow in parallel the physical progress and the budget advancement.
