Progress Update: The process of gathering and recording the status of various tasks to reflect the current progress of the project.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">11. Resource Leveling: The process of adjusting the start and finish dates in a project schedule to alleviate resource constraints without affecting the critical path.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">12. Risk Analysis: The systematic process of identifying, assessing, and managing potential risks that could impact a project\u2019s schedule.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">13. Schedule Compression: Techniques like crashing or fast-tracking used to shorten the schedule without changing the project scope.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">14. Schedule Variance (SV): A metric used in EVM that shows the difference between the work that was scheduled and the work that has been actually performed in terms of cost.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">15. Scheduling Model: A quantitative analysis tool using algorithms and heuristics to create and optimize project schedules.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">16. Scope Creep: The uncontrolled expansion to project scope without adjustments to time, cost, and resources.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">17.
