    as for any project you need to work out what the tasks are, how they relate to each other and their duration / effort / resource. When you have set up the logical network of tasks and their durations you have the shortest the project could be. Then you look at resource conflicts and work out what has to be delayed to allow all resources to be properly utilised. Then you have a schedule.
