1. Process group: Planning Knowledge Area: Time Management

2. OPAS

3. EEFS

4. Scope baseline

   • WBS, WBS disctionary,  constraints

5. Schedule Management Plan

   • It tells you the methods to use when you define the activities in your schedule.

6. Decomposition

   • This means taking the work packages you defined in the Scope Management processes and breaking them down even further into activities that can be estimated.

7. Expert judgment

   • Ask somebody who has done this before to give an opinion on what activities will be needed to get the job done. 

8. Rolling wave planning

   • When you plan this way, you decompose only the activities that you need to plan for because they’re coming up soon. You leave everything else planned at the milestone  level until it gets closer to the time when you’ll do it.

9. Activity list

   • This is a list of everything that needs to be done to complete your project. This list is lower-level than the WBS. It’s all the activities that must be accomplished to deliver the work packages.

10. Activity attributes

    • Here’s where the description of each activity is kept. All of the information you need to figure out the order of the work should be here, too. So any predecessor activities, successor activities, or constraints should be listed in the attributes, along with descriptions and any other information about resources or time that you need for planning

11. Milestone list

    • They are not work activities and have no duration. All of the important checkpoints of your project are tracked as milestones. Some of them could be listed in your contract as requirements of successful completion; some could just be significant points in the project that you want to keep track of. The milestone list needs to let everybody know which are required and which are not. 

12. This is the process of identifying and documenting the specific actions to be performed to produce the project deliverables
