The topic of this book is known as dynamic scheduling, and is used to refer to three dimensions of project management and scheduling: the construction of a baseline schedule and the analysis of a project schedule’s risk as preparation of the project control phase during project progress. This dynamic scheduling point of view implicitly assumes that the usability of a project’s baseline schedule is rather limited and only acts as a point of reference in the project life cycle. Consequently, a project schedule
should especially be considered as nothing more than a predictive model
that can be used for resource efficiency calculations, time and cost
risk analyses, project tracking and performance measurement, and so on. In this book, the three dimensions of dynamic scheduling
are highlighted in detail and are based on and inspired by a
combination of academic research studies at Ghent University
(www.ugent.be), in-company trainings at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School (www.vlerick.com) and consultancy projects at OR-AS (www.or-as.be). First, the construction of a project baseline schedule
is a central theme throughout the various chapters of the book, and is
discussed from a complexity point of view with and without the presence
of project resources. Second, the creation of an awareness of the weak parts in a baseline schedule is discussed at the end of the two baseline scheduling parts as schedule risk analysis techniques that can be applied on top of the baseline schedule. Third, the baseline schedule and its risk analyses
can be used as guidelines during the project control step where actual
deviations can be corrected within the margins of the project’s time and
cost reserves.
