1. A list of times of departures and arrivals; a timetable: a bus schedule; a schedule of guided tours. 2. A plan for performing work or achieving an objective, specifying the order and allotted time for each part: finished the project on schedule. 3. A printed or written list of items in tabular form: a schedule of postal rates. 4. 1. A program of events or appointments expected in a given time: Can you fit me into your schedule Tuesday afternoon? 2. A student's program of classes. 5. A supplemental statement of details appended to a document. 6. 1. A federally regulated list of controlled substances, ranked in classes by potential for abuse. 2. One of the ranks or classes in such a list.
taken the liberty, perhaps unathorized as I am just a reader of Wikipedia, to replace the sixth bullet. It had read: "Scheduling (construction)" and it pointed to an article about Primavera, which is a scheduling software company. I do not dispute that Primavera publishes the #1 scheduling software in the world, and I do not quarrel with the legitimacy of an article about the company and its premiere products,
I do, however, disagree that a definition of construction scheduling boils down to a description of software. This would be like looking up "tax accounting" and finding an article on Turbotax. Software is a tool, it is not a method.
To correct for this, I replaced the sixth bullet with "Project Scheduling," which needs to be written. There is already a project planning article, and project planning and project scheduling go together as two sequential steps in project management. Much like an architect designs a project before the contractor builds it, project planning establishes the 30,000-foot strategy, and project scheduling establishes the ground-level tactical approach.

Scheduling theory redirects to this disambig page, but should go to something more specific. -- Lost-theory 20:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Recent edits seem badly to have tried too much -- both to make sections, merge with Timetable, and to address the toplevel call 'This disambiguation page should be converted into a broad-concept article, describing the primary meaning of the term. Additional meanings linked to this term should be moved to a separate page with "(disambiguation)" in the title.' The result seems to be eliminating non-Timetable uses, *still* is not a single topic, and generally confused matters. I will try and put in a proper Disambiguation page with the prior sense and content appropriate for meanings of Schedule. Markbassett ( talk) 23:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
I propose to merge the stubby Timebar scheduling material into the "Internal schedules" section of this article. Cheers! bd2412 T 17:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
A schedule or a timetable, as a basic time-management tool, consists of a list of times at which possible tasks, events, or actions are intended to take place, or of a sequence of events in the chronological order in which such things are intended to take place. The process of creating a schedule — deciding how to order these tasks and how to commit resources between the variety of possible tasks — is called scheduling,[1][2] and a person responsible for making a particular schedule may be called a scheduler. Making and following schedules is an ancient human activity 178.152.200.69 ( talk) 23:26, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
