A) Forward scheduling
B) Backward scheduling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Backward scheduling is done by working backwards from the required delivery date, determining the necessary tasks and their duration that should be completed in order to meet that deadline. This means that any changes to the schedule can be accommodated more easily because tasks are being completed closer to the deadline, and there's more flexibility possible in terms of shifting those tasks around. This results in less exposure to risk in case of schedule change by the customer. Forward scheduling, on the other hand, involves beginning with the start date and working forwards to determine the expected completion date, which can result in less flexibility to adjust the schedule if changes need to be made.
