ABOUT SPMP™ SCHEDULE & PLANNING MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL™ CERTIFICATION

“In project management, a schedule is a listing of a project’s milestones, activities, and deliverables. Usually, dependencies and resources are defined for each task, then start and finish dates are estimated from the resource allocation, budget, task duration, and scheduled events. A schedule is commonly used in the project planning and project portfolio management parts of project management.
