Project Analysts and Schedulers

A project support team facilitates decision-making by providing pertinent and timely information. As a member of this team, the project analyst or scheduler typically maintains and updates the project plan, project documentation, activity schedules, and correspondence. In addition, analysts and schedulers can provide specialized data analysis, evaluate the impact of risks and scope changes to the project schedule, and recommend corrective action where required.
