Project Baseline Program Review Checklist

In the project Baseline Schedule Review Checklist, the following points can be considered. Among these points are defining the scope of the project, ensuring that resources are available to complete it, and assessing any risks that could delay its completion. Additionally, the project should be reviewed for any dependencies with other projects. It is important to note that this is only a guide, and some items might not apply to the contract or be redundant.

Contract Compliance’s

• 1. Proper identification of the Schedule?
• 2. Submittal Contents?–
• 3.?Contract/ Schedule completion date?–
