Scheduling is based on task duration, not actual effort. Tasks are fitted between chosen milestones and within available timeframes. Resources are unknowingly over-allocated. No formal method for estimating is used. There's no standard or schedule for status reporting.
Frequent slippage is experienced on projects.
Difficulties are encountered in adjusting schedules. There's informal coordination of resources, at best. Limited learning is derived from previous projects, due to lack of project planning, documentation and tracking. Project leaders are unable to systematically develop and summarize resource allocation and costs across projects or even across tasks. Scheduling is only as good as a P-M's knowledge of the area and similar work in the past.
