Is there anyone can give some advices for the less experienced scheduler? For instance, how to define the activity list, relationship and duration etc. If you can provide some procedure of planning process, working interfaces with others and responsibility matrix, that would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    My sincere advice is that you read articles including papers on planning and scheduling. Visit corporate websites like PMI, Planning Engineers Organization, etc. also ask your boss questions concerning scheduling while you get involved in scheduling activities.
    For the issue of activity, activity is a process in a project that consumes time and also usually consumes or uses other resources (e.g. people, money, materials and equipment). An activity is the smallest unit of work on a Project, but depending upon the hierarchy or level of detail of the project, may be divisible into smaller or more detailed activities, therefore an activity list is a directory that contains all the activities in a project.
    You can define relationship (connection) according to relationship type - the condition that controls how activity is related to its predecessors or successors. Examples of relationships are FF, FS, SS, and SF
    Duration: The estimated or actual time required for the completion of an activity, or group of activities, based upon a particular resource allocation and method of working.
    Try and send me your email address. I will send some material to you on planning process and responsibility matrix
