Preparing a Project Timeline: A Seven-Step Process Step 1. Prepare for Scheduling by Identifying Schedule Activities on the WBS.
Step 2. Develop the Network Diagram. Step 3. Estimate Preliminary Activity Durations. Step 4. Calculate Specific Calendar Dates and Times. Step 5. Identify Resources, Accommodate Resource Limitations, and Estimate Final Durations. Step 6. Identify and Accommodate Any External Constraints. Step 7. Compare the Estimated End Date and the Required End Date.
