		<description><![CDATA[The notion that an inadequate project management schedule is often the root cause of other problems in the project generated some insightful responses.   While insightful, they also illustrate what I consider to be the typical misconceptions we have about how project problems are just too complex to ever be "simply the schedule."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a big advocate of getting the project management tool schedule right for a project.  While this seems obvious, what is not often as obvious is that a lot of the problems seen in a project can often be root caused back to an inadequate schedule estimate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the realistic project management schedule is still a challenge, more productivity improvements happen with realistic schedules because people have the time to innovate and improve how they do their work. This is in contrast to the compressed schedule where there is insufficient time to just get the core tasks done which in turn discourages taking the time to try new things that could improve productivity. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know that throwing additional resources at an already late project rarely makes the project run on time.  Often it only makes it run later.  Similarly, going with an aggressive schedule with an early date for the purpose of actually hitting a later date is equally counterproductive. ]]></description>
