Techniques such as PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique), CPM (Critical Path Method) and GANTT are the most used to plan into details a project, prevent uncertainties and avoid risk. These three techniques complete each other and offer a wide range of scenarios that could occur during the development of a project.		“''The Project Management is a management system that aims to results''”.<ref>Miscia S., 1994, Il Project Management, Quaderni di Formazione Pirelli, Milano. </ref> The goal of a project can only be reached through precise scheduling techniques that take into account all various constraints such as time and economic resources.

	The aim of scheduling techniques is to reach the goal on time without wasting precious and limited resources. On the other hand it’s an important tool to prevent in advance future situations and to promptly identify future issues that can compromise the success of the project.

	Managing efficiently and effectively a project means taking advantage of scheduling tools and techniques to use resources optimally. Even if different projects aren't linked one each other, their outcome is mostly the input of ~~programmes~~. Projects are the foundations of both programs and portfolios and for this reason they retain a big responsibility. Their delays or resources allocation affects the whole complex system. It's fundamental to use scheduling techniques to reduces as much as possible their impact on a bigger scale.
