Leave big enough time lags between successive tasks

When planning your tasks within project schedule, first of all define the time you have available, in other words define time-scopes of your project. Then you need to:

• Find out what tasks (activities, processes) are vital and basic for successful achievements of your goals.
• Estimate time that may take execution of each task.
• Prioritize your tasks, set tasks order.
• Fill project time-scopes with tasks according to your plan.

Try to leave enough time lags between successive tasks, to be sure that if some of your important tasks will be delayed you will not run out of project scopes.
