How does the detail in a short interval schedule generally compare to the level of detail contained in the project schedule?

What will be an ideal response?


The level of detail in a short interval schedule is considerably more involved
than that of the project schedule. For example, with a one or two year project schedule it
may be possible to tell in relative terms (approximately which week) certain tasks will be
performed. The short interval schedule, on the other hand, will specify the specific day of
the week when activities are to take place. A craft supervisor will be able to plan
activities by using a short interval schedule, but the project schedule will not contain
sufficient detail for this to occur.
Additional planning would be required for the supervisor. Of course, this is not the intent
of the project schedule. The project schedule will present information about general tasks
to be performed, but the short interval schedule will present information about the tasks
to be performed by a particular crew.
