Calendar of Events

The project schedule is the most powerful, underappreciated, and underutilized tool in the project tool box. It is a contract between the project team, owner/sponsor, and stakeholders. It represents a promise by task owners to deliver defined results on their target dates. It is a communication vehicle enabling all interested parties to know what has been planned and accomplished, and the current best estimate of deliverable dates. And it enables the owner/sponsor and project team to collaborate to meet their commitments as early as possible in the face of unexpected impediments. We'll discuss who should own the schedule and how it can be used to optimize results.
