Key ideas and conditions
Schedules
A plan needs durations, order and constraints. Distinguish tasks that can run together from tasks that depend on earlier work.
Buffers
Travel or setup variation can make an exact back-to-back plan fragile. A buffer is an explicit choice rather than unexplained wasted time.
Comparisons
Compare options using the same units and relevant conditions. The lowest listed price may exclude important components.
Revision
Review a plan after new information arrives. Keep the assumptions visible so a change can be traced.
Explain without looking
- How should a plan change when a necessary task takes longer than expected?
- A 60-minute session reserves 10 for setup and 5 for review. Find remaining working time.
