Discussion – Project Schedule

Sequencing activities properly is a critical component of project management, whether on a small scale (chop the walnuts before mixing the batter and finally baking) or a large scale (identifying a new market and then developing and finally distributing a new product to that market). Who typically builds a project schedule? What criteria must be considered when identifying and sequencing tasks in order to sequence tasks effectively? Use an example (such as the steps involved in releasing a video game upgrade or outsourcing a call center) to illustrate your explanation.
