What is the difference between Schedule Model and Project Schedule?
Schedule Model is mentioned 58 times in PMBOK Guide, Fifth Edition compared to just 5 times in the Fourth Edition. So, here's a discussion topic for those preparing for PMP and CAPM exams: What is the difference between Schedule Model and Project Schedule?
Schedule Model is a representation of the plan with the chosen schedule method (like CPM, CCM, etc) that in turn produces Project Schedule. Most of the time projects use scheduling software (like MS Project) for modelling in which we input project specific data like activities, milestones, duration, resources, activity dependencies and used generate what-if analysis, report & track project progress.
Project Schedule is list of project activities & milestones with planned dates which is outcome of Scheduling Model.
