Normalizing A Project Schedule-2

Normalizing a project schedule involves matching resources to tasks while considering availability and priorities. Critical tasks should be scheduled as early as possible with resources reviewed and approved by management. Non-critical tasks are scheduled as late as possible without impacting critical paths or assigned in subsets to allow flexibility in resource allocation over time. Effective resource assignment requires understanding availability and suitability while minimizing gaps to efficiently use resources.

Normalizing a Project

Schedule
Learn how to match resources to
tasks within the framework of your
schedule.
For Critical Tasks
• Review the project schedule to determine if the
resources you assigned are actually available
within the schedule window of each task.
• After individual assignments are finalized and
reviewed by the project team, adjust the
schedule to accommodate any other necessary
changes.
• The schedule must then be reviewed and
approved by senior management as part of the
project plan.
For Non-Critical Tasks
• Schedule all critical tasks at the earliest date
possible, thus providing a way to free up
resources earlier for other projects or later
critical tasks.
• Schedule all non-critical tasks as late as
possible without causing critical tasks to slip.
• Schedule a subset of non-critical tasks.
– As milestones get met, complete the rest of the
schedule, thus giving yourself flexibility and a way to
assign resources to critical tasks.
Rules for Assigning Resources
• Make sure you know the specific availability of
all resources.
• Assign the best-suited available people to each
task.
• Use resources efficiently to ensure the smallest
gaps in working schedules.
• Redo the schedule until it balances.
• If one unique resource commands first place in
your project, you must make your schedule
conform to its availability. No way around that!
