About the Program
In early 2003, PMI began
exploration for developing the first practice standard for project
scheduling. Focus would be placed on single project scheduling, with
close coupling to the time management section of the PMBOK® Guide. In
the summer of 2003, the project team was formed under the leadership of
Douglas Clark, Project Manager, and Harold ‘‘Mike’’ Mosley, Jr. PMP,
Deputy Project Manager. The project team would grow to include 179
members representing 20 countries. This
presentation summarizes how the Practice Standard for Scheduling was
developed, and also outlines its significant contributions to the
project management profession.
