ABSTRACT
Trying to execute a project without an execution plan and a master project schedule (MPS) is like trying to drive from here to there without a map or a clock. Eventually you will get nowhere, you will be late getting there, and you won't even know it. A project execution plan combined with the MPS provides a road map with criteria to judge where you are at any time and to know when you have arrived. It also provides the basis for the control system and is an excellent communication tool.
