The most common mistake when it comes to schedule management is either not having enough detail in each task or not assigning proper times to each task on the schedule. Both of these could be grouped in with each other because if there are not enough
details for the task you could have a estimation that does not reflect the actual time it take to complete the task. By not having the right time estimations of task the whole schedule could fall apart since the task either end to early causing everything to be push up or if the task misses a deadline the schedule would have to be pushed back. The main way to avoid this is meet with the team in charge of a completing a task and making a more accurate estimation so that the schedule does not fluctuate.
Another common mistake that should be avoid with project schedule management is a lack of communication between team members. If there is not proper communication between different group members there is a higher chance of having delays with schedule as people become confuse on how the schedule should work. To avoid this from happening make sure everyone understands the schedule from the start and have at least a weekly update of everyone's progress with their task so that no one will become confused with the schedule.
