delivery and to gain consensus.

Execution Schedule: A scheduler works with the project team to optimize and refine the schedule

until an agreed schedule has been

developed.

Performance Control: A schedule is maintained by the scheduler who optimizes outcomes and

instructs the project team on their

presentation. It is important that the scheduler be aware of the changes and trends related to the

project delivery.

Answer option C is incorrect. This is the skill possessed by the project manager.

Definitely B, C, and D. The scheduler is the linchpin of the whole operation - they need to have a firm grasp on the project timeline, the resources available, and the team's capabilities. And they've got to be able to lead the charge and get everyone aligned. Performance control? Nah, that's the project manager's job to keep an eye on the metrics.

Haha, performance control? Is the scheduler supposed to be cracking the whip on the team? I think that's a bit much. I'd go with B, C, and D as well. The scheduler has to be able to create a solid plan, communicate it effectively, and then make adjustments as needed to keep things on track. Multitasking is key for this role!

I agree with you on those choices. The scheduler needs to be able to plan and coordinate the work, but they also need to be a strong leader who can motivate the team and manage any challenges that come up. I'm not sure about A) Performance control - that seems more like a project manager's responsibility to me.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I think the key skills the scheduler should have are B) Execution scheduling, C) Leadership, and D) Feasibility planning. Execution scheduling is crucial for coordinating the team's activities and keeping the project on track. Leadership is important for communicating effectively with the team and making tough decisions when needed. And feasibility planning helps ensure the project goals are realistic and achievable.
