Scheduling is built on assumptions

Dependencies are not considered

Resource limits are ignored

Schedule is overloaded and abandoned

Visual guide: Is your project schedule built to last?

The milestones look neat. The timeline is polished. People even agree on the dates. But will the schedule actually survive contact with reality?

This short visual series highlights common scheduling traps to watch out for:
🔹 Is the plan built on assumptions—or real insight from the right people?
🔹 Have you mapped the critical dependencies—or left dangling tasks and blind spots?
🔹 Do resource limits, approval steps, and downtime feature in your plan—or were they quietly ignored?
🔹 Will the schedule stay alive in daily use—or get overloaded and abandoned?

Getting the schedule right early doesn’t guarantee success—but getting it wrong almost guarantees headaches later.
