Abstract:

Schedules are important. As government acquisition officials, we want things delivered at the time we agreed they would be delivered and for what we agreed to pay. We want to know whether something is going to be late or over cost. Contractor-delivered schedules can help the government program manager PM answer some of these important questions. However, a contractor schedule rightly focuses only on contract scope and not on the entire program picture.
