There are various methods and techniques for scheduling of which the most widely used are the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Gantt Charts.  [http://www.internationaljournalssrg.org/IJCE/2017/Special-Issue/ICRTCETM/IJCE-ICRTCETM-P187.pdf]. However, criticism of the CPM and Gantt Chart has been expressed, especially in construction projects, for not sufficiently supporting building management during the construction phase, and not creating a continuous, and thus financial, flow of resources.
