Abstract

Project is mainly about achieving certain objectives within limited time, cost, and scope. For this reason these factors should be well planned and controlled to guarantee the project’s outcomes. Time management starts at the very beginning of initiating the project by identifying the project duration and its milestones, before getting a detailed schedule during the planning phase. This schedule would be a subject for frequent amendments and development during the project progression. There are many tools and techniques used to develop the time schedule. This article is a summary of literature review that highlights their typical tools and techniques used in the process of the project time management, elaborating techniques like: work breakdown structure, project network, estimating, critical path analysis, and scheduling.
