This document discusses time management processes for planning and controlling a project schedule. It defines key processes for planning a project schedule including defining activities, sequencing activities, estimating activity resources and durations. It also discusses developing a project schedule using techniques like critical path method. Finally, it discusses the process of controlling the project schedule by monitoring schedule performance and managing changes to the schedule baseline.

The specific actions to be performed to
produce the project deliverables
Sequence Activities is the process of
identifying and documenting relationships
among the project activities
Type and quantities of material, people,
equipment, or supplies required to
perform each activity
Approximating the number of work
periods needed to complete individual
activities with estimated resources
