Application of proactive and reactive project scheduling – case study
Application of proactive and reactive project scheduling – case study

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the description of a real-world project in which a combination of proactive and reactive scheduling was applied with success. The aim of the case study is to prove the usefulness of such an approach. A deep analysis of the case is provided, where the reader can follow how the project evolved, what kind of problems were encountered and how the proposed method helped to prevent or solve them. The way the project manager collected the necessary information and cooperated with the project stakeholders is described. A presentation of reactive and proactive scheduling based on a literature review is also provided. The conclusion is that the approach seems to be a necessity in the practice of project management and it is only the lack of openness of organisations and project managers and teams which may prevent it from being widely used in practice.
