Important: If you are not familiar with Project IQ, we recommend you review the Project and Work areas Overview page. It will provide you with a working knowledge of the Projects area.

Building the project schedule typically occurs during the Planning stage. The focus at this stage is to provide the recommended best practices for developing a project schedule using the IQ scheduler.

Here are a few practical tips:

• First, identify all the work required to complete the project.  The IQ scheduler allows you to do this using two views – the Timeline and Grid.  You can use any or all these views on a single project based on personal preferences. 

• We believe the Timeline view may be the easiest view for identifying all the work associated with predictive projects.

• Alternatively, the Board view may be the easiest view for identifying all the work associated with iterative projects.

• As both views maintain the same task details, you can use the method or methods that matches your project’s delivery approach and your personal work style.

• Next, it is important to establish the dependencies to ensure that all the work is completed in the appropriate sequence.
  
• To ensure that the project tasks are completed, it is important that the appropriate resources are assigned to each task in the project schedule.

• Finally, estimate the amount of work or time required to complete each task.
