completed when to keep the project on schedule. It’s necessary to account for
the dependencies identified above when defining the critical path. You should
also consult with the team members who will be completing the relevant
tasks.
SETTING UP A COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
You’re now ready to build out your timeline with solid dates for each
part of the project. Your timeline should reflect the critical path and
sequences you laid out above to accommodate any constraints or
dependencies identified. And don’t forget to account for weekends,
team members’ scheduled time off, holidays, and other factors that
might impact available work hours. While you can expect your
schedule to evolve due to scope changes, unexpected
variation in productivity, and other potential issues, you’ll want to make
