	Managing and organizing activities to achieve desired goals require a structured approach, as well as systematic and regularity. The article focuses on one of the segments of Time Management, namely ''project schedule development'' (PSD). It presents the importance of this aspect in terms of supporting project managers along with a project. It introduces the philosophy of scheduling and proposes a way of executing the mentioned segment.
