	A change can be understood as unavoidable result of an unexpected event, a transition or often a project deliverable itself. What is more, changes in a project environment are inevitable and therefore we can use the methods which are being applied in change management to successfully plan the projects. To manage these changes effectively it is required to continuously organise team-building activities. It is crucial to ensure a profitable coperation, build mutual trust, high quality of information exchange, better decision making, and effective project management <ref name="Project Management: A guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK guide). (2013), Project Management Institute. "/>. With regards to this article change management techniques are useful while facing an unexpected schedule change or if change is a deliverable in the project. Despite the fact that there are key guidelines of communicating the change and concrete types of behaviors expressed in response itis important to understand that all individuals go through different phases in the process, which are awareness, interest, trial and adoption. The communication should be clear, rational, valuable and provide a long term strategic direction. While communicating it is worth remembering that face-to-face is the best channel when our message is supposed to change the behavior of the recipient whereas nonverbal communique is most useful for short, quick information retrieval.

	Basing on the “Diffusions of Innovations Theory” by Everett M. Rogers we can explain what one out of five statistical behaviors individuals show when facing change. The fact which group given individual will choose is based on how well the change is communicated and how well it aligns with their personal interests. It is important to understand that mechanism in order to apply a more conscious leadership.		Basing on the “Diffusions of Innovations Theory” by Everett M.

	The scope of the article is to show the influence of human behaviors on project's planning, realization, monitoring with regards to time and resources scheduling. Behavior is the range of actions and mannerisms made by individual or system as the response to various stimuli <ref name=book> ''Elizabeth A. Minton, Lynn R. Khale (2014). Belief Systems, Religion, and Behavioral Economics. New York: Business Expert Press LLC. '' </ref>. Scheduling in turn means the process of creating the schedule, basic time-management tool, deciding how to arrange, control, optimize work and commit resources between the variety of possible tasks. Plan Schedule Management is the process of establishing the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing, and controlling the project schedule. The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and direction on how the project schedule will be managed throughout the project <ref name=''book''> "Project Management: A guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK guide). (2013), Project Management Institute. " </ref>. Whatever industry we take into consideration there will be projects that encountered delays, schedule changes and cost overruns that affect overall appraisal of given enterprise. Despite all of the tangible results schedule changes will also affect humans causing higher pressure, lower productivity and in general - quality reduction. This is due to high number or variables and possible risks even though usually those are thoroughly analyzed because it is not possible to predict any scenario. There are many traditional approaches in Project Management based on analytic techniques helping with facing misbehaviors. However, the new approaches are based on system dynamics, assuming a holistic view of the project organization, focusing on the behavior of project and how it relates to managerial strategies <ref> ''Rodrigues, A., & Bowers, J. (1996). The role of system dynamics in project management. International Journal of Project Management, 14(4), 213-220.''</ref>. Plannning is one of the key responsibilities of Project Manager’s work where human is the decision making factor so it is vital to consider what mechanism drive people and their performance in the group.
