The Project Scheduler
The project scheduler is responsible for developing and maintaining the project schedule,
communicating the timelines and due dates, reporting schedule performance, and
communicating any schedule changes to the stakeholders and project team members.
Project schedulers obtain status updates in terms of timelines and due dates from the
team members assigned to the work of the project so they can keep the schedule updated.
Typically, project schedulers are employed in large organizations or on very large projects.
They may also work for the project management office (we’ll discuss this shortly) as a
shared resource who works with all the project managers assigned to the project
management office.
