    - Project Scheduling in a project refers to roadmap of all activities to be done with specified order and within time slot allotted to each activity.

    - Project managers tend to tend to define various tasks, and project milestones and them arrange them keeping various factors in mind.

    - They look for tasks lie in critical path in the schedule, which are necessary to complete in specific manner (because of task interdependency) and strictly within the time allocated.

    - Arrangement of tasks which lies out of critical path are less likely to impact over all schedule of the project.
