A schedule is a list of terminal things for an action with their expected start and end dates.

There are several types of schedules. The most used is the project activities calendar, which consists of a calendar where information is noted about the activities that are going to be carried out on the corresponding days of the project. Another common representation is the Gantt chart, which provides a graphical representation of a project schedule, indicating expected start and end dates for each activity, as well as the dependency of some activities on others.

There are specific tools to create and manage tasks through a schedule. In computing, free and open source are available for most platforms, offering opportunities for creating task lists, resource allocation, precedence and Gantt charts.
