Project Planning and Scheduling: Tools and Good Practices

Project Planning and Scheduling: Tools and Good Practices

Abstract

Planning, or as aptly capture the authors of the study “preparation of activities”, is a vital aspect of project management. Most of the problems that occur during the project implementation phase origin from improper or even in a lack of the project planning process. It can be observed that organizations, especially in the conditions of risk and uncertainty, do not take steps to prepare their activities or take them in a very ineffective way. Therefore, undertaking research on the topic of project planning should be considered both important for the development of the discipline of management sciences as well as for providing practical guidance to companies that often undertake complex projects in a turbulent, changing environment. The reviewed research by prof. Michał Trocki, PhD. and prof. Paweł Wyrozębski, PhD. significantly extends the current knowledge of project management and can serve as a benchmark for very well-conducted research. [excerpt from prof. Seweryn Spałek’s, PhD. review]
