Hello all,
I think most of us here will agree that a solid and defined schedule is the key to any efficient project. Creating this schedule, in some cases, can be costly. It is hard to convince upper management that a good percentage of the project’s budget should be put into scheduling when you are in an aerospace/defense environment. Does anyone have any data within your company or data of other companies that show the effectiveness of having a weak or strong schedule? (i.e. .01% of budget put into scheduling & no EVMS = project delivered 6 months late) Books and websites aren’t useful here. If any has any real-life examples, it’d be greatly appreciative. All comments are welcome (doesn’t have to be aerospace/defense).
