With the implementation of the Project Management and Reporting System (PMRS), a project schedule must be developed for each project. As part of the PMRS effort, schedule templates are being developed for typical WSDOT project types and sizes and are available as a starting point in developing project schedules. Schedule templates are based on historical WSDOT projects and augmented with staff input. The templates will be critical path method (CPM) schedules that include standard activities, logic (relationships), durations, role-based resources, milestones, calendars, activity codes and project codes.  \nSchedule templates are intended to expedite the schedule development process; but do not replace project management input and refinement appropriate to the scope, schedule and budget of each project. The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring that project schedules accurately reflect the scope and plan for each project. Templates can be developed and used for an entire project or for sub-projects that are linked together to forma completed project schedule.  \nSelecting a Schedule Template  \nThere are a number offactors to consider in selecting the appropriate schedule template to use in developing a project schedule. The following items should be considered:  \n1. Type of Project – The type of project (Paver with Safety Items, Interchange, etc.) is the first step in determining which schedule template is appropriate for the current project. Selecting a similar project type makes available relevant activities and durations, logic and other schedule attributes and can greatly reduce schedule development time.  \n2. Size and Complexity – The size and complexity of a project determines the number of activities required and their interrelationships. For example, projects requiring an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or special permitting may have more detailed schedules to support this level of involvement by the appropriate project team members. The number of outside project stakeholders may also reflect the complexity of a project and should be considered in selecting a template.  \n3. Internal or External Design – Whether the project design is performed by WSDOT or by external consultants will help determine the level of detail needed in the project schedule. For example, greater detail may be required by a WSDOT  \nSchedule Template Guidelines July 1, 2008  \nSpecialty Office to better manage staff resources, while less detailed activities maybe used for work performed by external consultants or construction contractors.  \n4. Magnitude of WSDOT Specialty Office Support – The number of WSDOT Specialty Offices supporting the project as well as the level of detailed required to manage the work are considerations in selecting a schedule template.  \nEach schedule template will include the type of project (Paver with Safety Items, Interchange, etc.) along with either a short description of the major project elements or a scope statement to assist project staff in selecting the template best suited to the needs of the current project.  \nUse of Schedule Templates  \nAfter selecting the schedule template that most closely matches the current project or project element, it is recommended that the following items be considered:  \n1. Scope – Modify the template activities to reflect the scope of the current project and ensure that all necessary deliverables are addressed including the appropriate level of detail based on the needs of the project.  \n2. Activity Durations-Review and confirm activity durations.  \n3. Interfaces – Review and either confirm schedule logic (relationships) or modify r","cbCaitxIk59jPaPb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitxIk59jPaPb","pdf",104438,"English","# Introduction\n# Selecting a Schedule Template\n# Use of Schedule Templates","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of schedule templates in the PMRS process?\",\"answer\":\"Schedule templates provide a starting point for developing WSDOT project schedules in Primavera Scheduler under PMRS.
