You can read up on the Schedule Management process group of the PMBoK guide and tailor your requirements accordingly.

Alice,

I suggest you look at the DOD view on Schedule.

Do you have rules on your schedule? Do you allow open-end activities?

Have a look at "Practice Standard for Scheduling - Third Edition"

To effectively manage any schedule you need two things:

a) Accurate due dates.

b) Accurate progress.

All the accurate due dates won't mean much if they are not being tracked so you need to make sure you use a platform that allows you to do this. If everything is in place then you due date and progress at any given time should give you the ability to effectively manage the schedule.

When I get the objective which is get the project schedule with the needed scope, time and quality and when I can maintain it along the project duration. Obviously very important is to understand what a project schedule is. It could sound trivial, but when you ask you will surprise with the answers.

Start with your Schedule Management Plan which should tell people the story of "how" you will manage the schedule and related changes to the schedule. Suggest that you meet at least every two weeks to update your schedule.
