The Project Management Institute (PMI) ® offers a professional credential for project schedulers, known as the PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)®. PMIs professional credentialing examination development processes stand apart from other project management certification examination development practices. PMI aligns its process with certification industry best practices, such as those found in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing.


Although many of the domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills outlined by the PMI-SP Examination Content Outline are also covered by the Practice Standard for Scheduling and PMBOK® Guide, there are some that are unique to the PMI-SP Examination Content Outline. Candidates studying for the examination will certainly want to include the current edition of the Practice Standard for Scheduling and PMBOK® Guide as two of their references, and would be well advised to read other current titles on project scheduling.

experts, decomposition, and application of scheduling policies and
procedures to identify and document the work to be performed.

techniques such as three-point estimate, parametric, analogous and/or
Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) in order to develop an
overall schedule model.

Task 4 Sequence activities, incorporating defined dependencies (internal, external,

Task 6 Develop the project resource breakdown structure (RBS), determine resource
availability, and assign resources to activities by working with functional
managers, project managers, and project team members in order to define the
resource constrained schedule.

Task 7 Adjust schedule model based upon resource availability, available budget,
and other known constraints in order to calculate the resource constrained
schedule.

Task 8 Align schedule with the overall program plan or integrated master plan (IMP),
through review of enterprise objectives and contract documentation, in order
to ensure accomplishment of overall program objectives.

Task 9 Analyze major milestones against statement of work (SOW), the contract,
and/or memorandum of understanding, to assess whether schedule model
delivery estimates meet required deadlines.

Task 10 Perform schedule risk analysis using quantitative tools or techniques (for
example, what-if scenarios, Monte Carlo simulation) in order to determine if
project milestone dates are achievable within acceptable risk tolerances.

Task 11 Obtain a consensus of the project customer, sponsor, project manager, and
project team members, in order to establish an approved baseline schedule.

such as what-if scenario analyses, in order to optimize the schedule.

Task 5 Incorporate approved risk mitigation activities into the schedule, by utilizing
defined change control processes, in order to establish a new performance
measurement baseline (PMB).

Task 6 Update the schedule model and document schedule baseline changes,
received through formal change-control processes, in order to maintain an
