PMI-SP Planning and Development

This chapter follows Domain 2: Schedule Planning and Development (31%) from PMI’s current publicly posted PMI-SP exam content outline. It focuses on building a schedule model that is logically sound, realistic, and baseline-ready.

Stronger answers in this domain protect traceability from breakdown structures through milestones, resource logic, and the performance measurement baseline. Weak answers use shortcuts, hard constraints, and cosmetic structure that make the schedule easier to look at but weaker to manage.

Use the child lessons to move from decomposition and coding, into sequencing and estimating, then into baseline and milestone quality.
