Project Calendar

A schedule that specifies the project's working days and the shifts during which activities can be planned and performed.

Key Points

  • Sets the default workdays and work hours for the entire project.
  • Includes exceptions such as holidays, shutdowns, and approved weekend or night work.
  • Different from resource calendars (person/team availability) and activity calendars (task-specific time windows).
  • Drives scheduling calculations, affecting task start/finish dates and critical path analysis.

Example

A software rollout project uses a project calendar with Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. as standard hours, adds a Saturday evening deployment window once a month, and blocks public holidays. Scheduling tools use this calendar to place and sequence activities.

PMP Example Question

Which calendar defines the default days and shifts when project work may be scheduled, unless overridden by activity or resource calendars?

  1. Resource calendar
  2. Project calendar
  3. Organizational fiscal calendar
  4. Milestone calendar

Correct Answer: B — The project's working days and shifts

Explanation: The project calendar sets the baseline work periods for the entire project; resource and activity calendars can refine or override it for specific people or tasks.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
