Dallas, TX, May 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Abyss Program Management LLC published an article "Schedule Estimation: Politics, Science, or Art? Pragmatic considerations to scheduling pitfalls (Part Two of a Two Part Series). Project managers receive training, develop experience and obtain certifications in their craft as do many other professionals. But when it comes to project schedules, many are prevented from actually using these hard won capabilities as schedules are so often dictated. Schedules are then backed into in order to meet these artificial dates as opposed to being analyzed to determine how long things will really take. Worse yet, the tools being used are based on mathematics that haven't changed since they were first developed in the 50's and 60's. Certainly they have had shiny graphical interfaces added, but the real nuts and bolts behind the scenes haven't changed and those nuts and bolts have fundamental flaws. This article addresses this range of pitfalls. This second article discusses what can be done in a pragmatic way to address some of these pitfalls.
