Discuss the suggestion of preparing short interval schedules one week prior to discussing them at a project meeting in order for all personnel to have ample time to review the information
What will be an ideal response?
While the suggestion may seem reasonable at first glance, one must realize that
the purpose of the short interval schedule is to serve as a planning document for the
upcoming week. If a schedule is prepared on a Monday for the following Monday,
assumptions must be made about the extent of work that will be accomplished by Friday.
Needless to say, at the level of detail that such schedules are prepared, many activities
will not be scheduled with accuracy. If many activities are improperly represented when
work begins on the following Monday, the utility or value of the short interval schedule is
drastically reduced. The schedule must be prepared after most of the work week activities
have taken place as this is the only way to assure its accuracy.
