IS 15883:2013 (Part 2) is the Indian Standard (BIS) for construction project management - guidelines, part 2: time management. This standard provides guidelines for managing time on construction projects. It outlines key processes including defining activities, sequencing them, estimating durations, developing a schedule using methods like CPM, and controlling the schedule against the baseline to ensure timely project completion.

Practical Notes
! This code is a framework, not a prescriptive manual; practical application requires project management software (e.g., MS Project, Primavera).
! The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) from IS 15883 (Part 1) is a critical input for the activity definition process detailed in this standard.
! Effective schedule control (Clause 10) requires regular progress updates and variance analysis to manage deviations proactively.

Frequently Asked Questions4
What are the main inputs for developing a project schedule?+
Key inputs include the activity list, schedule network diagrams, activity duration estimates, and resource calendars (Clause 9.1).
What is the Critical Path Method (CPM)?+
A schedule analysis technique that calculates the longest path of activities, which determines the shortest possible project duration. Activities on this path have zero float (Clause 9.2.2.1).
What is the purpose of Schedule Control?+
To monitor the project status to update schedule progress and to manage changes to the schedule baseline (Clause 10).
What are the three main types of activity dependencies (logic)?+
Mandatory dependencies (hard logic), Discretionary dependencies (soft logic), and External dependencies (Clause 7.2.2).
