It is now time to move on to the second most important step in our planning, and that step is scheduling. In the previous module, we learned how to plan WHAT we have to do, what kind of ACTIONS we need to take. At this moment, it is time to understand and analyze WHEN we can perform those very activities.

It goes without saying that we cannot build a house roof before the foundations, or that we can not bake bread before we make the dough. We, humans, understand those relations in real life, of course, and based on those very principles, it is very important to understand dependencies and task durations in each of our projects.

So, let’s move forward, starting from schedule definitions and going through practical steps and templates that can help you plan your activities right after you complete this module.
