A project manager is in the process of developing a detailed project schedule. They have already defined the project activities, sequenced them, and estimated their durations. To convert these durations into a timeline with specific start and end dates, which document must they consult to understand the available working days and shifts for the project as a whole?
The project calendar identifies the working days, shifts, and non-working days (like holidays) for the project. It is a crucial input to the Develop Schedule process, as it allows the project manager to map the estimated activity durations onto a timeline with specific calendar dates. While resource calendars show availability for specific resources, the project calendar defines the overall time constraints for all scheduled activities. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and activity list are inputs used earlier in the planning process to define the work, but they do not contain calendar information.
