Project Scheduling
Project scheduling is a project management process that involves defining tasks, estimating durations, allocating resources, and establishing timelines to complete a project efficiently. It uses techniques like Gantt charts, Critical Path Method (CPM), and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) to visualize and optimize workflows. This ensures projects meet deadlines, stay within budget, and align with stakeholder expectations.
Developers should learn project scheduling to manage software development cycles effectively, especially in Agile or Waterfall environments where timely delivery is critical. It helps in coordinating team efforts, identifying dependencies, and mitigating risks, such as in large-scale applications or multi-team collaborations. For example, using tools like Jira or Microsoft Project can streamline sprint planning and resource allocation.
