Topic: Project Schedule "Backing-In"
Sometimes, in an effort to control project schedule, it is possible that a project manager may resort to developing a project schedule by starting at the end of a project end date and working back toward the beginning. In doing that, the project manager may attempt to identify and estimate the activities' duration that would eventually add up to the amount of time that the project is estimated to take. While this may seem like a reasonable approach to developing a project schedule, it is possible that using this strategy may substantially decrease the chances that the project will meet its schedule. Do you think this approach to developing a project schedule is the right one to use? Discuss the rationale for your answer. Discuss the reasons why this approach could substantially decrease the chances of the project meeting its schedule.
