Abstract: With every discipline, foundational concepts are instilled and continually used and developed in order to reach advanced levels. These relate to a core set of technical principles and aspects of a particular craft. In mastering the technical aspects and continually refining those skills, an individual can learn to use those rules in their own way in order to give the work stronger meaning and effectiveness. This same thought process applies to the arts as well as the sciences.

In today’s complex climate, everything has become segmented where technical and creative skills are seen as separate skillsets yet they both have significant value in managing projects. The manner in which technical skills get applied is what leads to effectively developed schedules and management of CPM schedules in order to effectively manage and control projects. Proper CPM techniques have proven to be extremely effective in establishing a communication of a plan, establishing production goals, monitoring and managing progress, and managing change in projects and programs.
