This Paper is in continuity of our White Paper 2015-14 ‘How to Build a Proper Project Schedule Hierarchy’ where we detail how to build a comprehensive and usable hierarchy of schedules in Large Complex Projects.

Like in many instances in life, for effectiveness, it is essential to understand which tool to use for which usage. The schedule toolbox created by the schedule hierarchy gives flexibility and focus.

Strategic, Project coordination and Operational needs are all addressed in a properly setup Schedule Hierarchy.
