The purpose of the schedule and the other diagrams is to simplify and clarify tracking. It is therefore important for the picture to be straightforward, and preferably formatted to one page per diagram. A schedule typically appears as below1.  \nUpdated Week 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24  \nProject Manager Milestones/Tollgates  \n1 5 9 13 17 21 25  \n2 6 10 14 18 22 26  \n3 7 11 15 19 23 27  \n4 8 12 16 20 24 28  \nFigure 14 – An example of a schedule  \nYou fill in the milestones and tollgates taking place during any given week, day, or whatever timescale you are using in your schedule. The time scale is often days in the majority of smaller projects. In the following example we have mixed weeks and days. Do this according to Figure 15 below. As you see, we are using different symbols for milestones and tollgates. Upon checking the numbers you will see that all the decision points from the project model are included in the schedule. Enter the appropriate update status in the column under “updated.”  \n1 Both the schedule and resource plan can easily be created in Excel  \n| Week Updated | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 |  |  |  |  | 50 |  |  |  |  |  | 51 | 52 | 53 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Må | Ti | On | To | Fr | Må | Ti | On | To | Fr | Fr |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1 | 2, 13 | 14 |  |  |  | 12 | 9 |  | 10 | 11 |  | 3, 6 |  | 4, 5 | 7, 8 | 15 | 16 |  |\n| 2004-10-28 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | | | |􀂑 | 􀂑 |  |  |  | | | | |  | | | 􀂑 |  | || |  | |􀂑 | |􀂑 | | | 􀂑 |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Project Manager | Milestones/Tollgates\u003Cbr>1  Project plan done  5  Appetizer approved  9  Dessert purchase done  13 Drinks purchased\u003Cbr>2  Project plan approved  6  Entree purchase done  10  Dessert done  14 Drinks approved\u003Cbr>3  Appetizer purchase done  7  Entree done  11  Dessert approved  15 Final report done\u003Cbr>4  Appetizer done  8  Entree approved  12  Snacks purchased  16 Final report approved |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | ","cbCaiv8LAkQyKf8L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv8LAkQyKf8L","pdf",721821,7,"English","# Schedule/Milestones\n## Project Manager Milestones/Tollgates\n# Gantt chart / Activity plan\n# Allocation plan","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the schedule in a project time plan?\",\"answer\":\"The schedule provides a clear graphic representation of milestones and tollgates defined in the project model, simplifying tracking and decision-point visibility.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you complete the schedule for each time period?\",\"answer\":\"Fill in the milestones and tollgates occurring during the chosen week, day, or timescale, and enter the appropriate update status in the column under “updated.”\"},{\"question\":\"What does a Gantt chart show and how is it constructed?\",\"answer\":\"A Gantt chart displays how project activities relate over running time, using the Y axis for activity names and the X axis for project duration, with dependency arrows between activities.\"},{\"question\":\"What is included in an allocation plan?\",\"answer\":\"An allocation plan identifies when resources are assigned by marking the calendar for planned work shifts, aligning its time scale with the schedule, and entering planned working hours for each week or day.\"}]","Time plans - project schedule milestones - Gantt chart and allocation plan guidance | PDF",1791870378]
