Project Timescales

Timescales describe how long the project will run. When connected to the business case, they also include the period during which the project's benefits are expected to be realized.

Key Points

  • Expresses the total project duration from start to finish.
  • Includes the benefits realization horizon tied to the business case.
  • Anchored by milestones and release dates; refined as plans evolve.
  • Influenced by constraints, dependencies, and delivery cadence (e.g., sprints, releases).

Example

A team plans a 6-month implementation for a new CRM, with benefits (higher sales conversion and reduced service time) expected to accrue over the following 24 months. The project timescale is 6 months, while the business-case timescale extends 2 years for benefits realization.

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes project timescales when linked to the business case?

  1. They only cover activity durations and internal milestones during execution.
  2. They define the approved budget and cost reserves for the project.
  3. They include both the project duration and the period over which benefits are realized.
  4. They specify the staffing plan and team ramp-up timeline.

Correct Answer: C — project duration plus benefits realization period

Explanation: Timescales reflect how long the project takes and, for the business case, also the timeframe in which benefits are expected to materialize.
