-Sequence Activities-determining whether activities can be completed sequentially or in parallel and any dependencies that may exist among them.
-Estimate Activity Resources - identifying the type of resources (people, technology, facilities, etc.) and the quantity of resources needed to carry out project activities.
-Estimate Activity Durations-estimating the time to complete each activity.
-Develop Schedule -based upon the availability of resources, the activities, their sequence, and time estimates, a schedule for the entire budget can be developed.
-Control Schedule -ensuring that proper processes and procedures are in.
