Preventing conflicts caused by scheduling issues

Scheduling issues are a large problem when it comes to project management. The coordination of a team to achieve project goals can sometimes be a demanding task. Even in a project where there is only one engineer doing project tasks, scheduling can be a problem. If that engineer gets sick or if there is another emergency that comes up, the entire project could be put at risk to be pushed back, since the outcome of one task often has a direct effect on the other tasks that are planned to be executed. Time management is such an important skill that different project management styles such as Agile or Scrum have their own techniques for time management.

Time management is an essential required skill for project managers. The project manager is often times in charge of managing the project team’s schedule, and if the project manager lacks the skills to manage their own time, one would imagine they would not be very successful at managing the schedules of the members of the project team.
