Let me try another comparison,...
The schedule model is like a template of the project schedule. They seem almost identical, they have the same activities, the same links, the same durations. They can even have the same calendars. And if the project start date coincides with the schedule model's start date then, both the schedule model and project schedule may very well be the same.
If we think of the schedule model as a car, the car (schedule model) doesn't change whether it is located here or 2 years down the time road. The project schedule on the other hand is the car anchored to a starting date. Project execution will deform the model according to reality, the real dates, the real durations, the real calendars, etc...

Hi Jubair,

It is in effect your project schedule.

I don’t think you are alone in your confusion. It seems this time the PMBOK has done a particularly good job at taking something that was pretty straightforward, and adding a layer of complexity that wasn’t really needed.

If you think of it as a Venn diagram with three circles. Each circle represents a different component of the model:

- Scheduling Method (Critical Path / Critical Chain)
- Scheduling Tool (Primavera / MS Project / Excel)
- Schedule Data (Tasks / Milestones /Sequencing / Resources / Estimates)

The point where all three overlap, or intersect, is the Schedule Model. As Sandilyan and Jason have both mentioned, it represents how you see your team delivering your project.

Regards,

Darren Kosa

THANKS Darren for Venn diagram descriptions and simplifying it..
