Project scheduling and Control- PMI-SP exam prep

What Are Project Scheduling and Project Controls?

Project Scheduling is the heartbeat of project management. Through scheduling, you define the execution path, map out activity relationships and constraints, and create a structured plan that guides the entire project team.
Project Controls ensures this plan is continuously monitored, delays and risks are identified early, and effective corrective actions are implemented.
Together, these two competencies form the foundation of successful project delivery in Canada and across many global industries.
