Morell, J. A. (2019). Linking Management and Evaluation: Project Schedules as Program Models. American Journal of Evaluation, 40(4), 472–489.
This article addresses three questions: How do models function in research, what makes project schedules a form of logic model and how can evaluation data be gleaned from schedules?

Andrade, P. A. de, Martens, A., & Vanhoucke, M. (2019). Using real project schedule data to compare earned schedule and earned duration management project time forecasting capabilities.Automation in Construction,99, 68–78.
This paper focuses on improving the accuracy of project duration forecasting by introducing a forecasting approach for Earned Value Management (EVM) and Earned Duration Management (EDM) that combines the schedule performance and schedule adherence of the project in progress.

Sabeghi, N., Tareghian, H. R. (2020). Using the generalized maximum covering location model to control a project’s progress. Computational Management Science,17(1), 1.
In this study, we adapt for the first time the generalized maximum covering location model to determine the adjusting strategies such that the maximum control coverage is achieved, i.e. under the given constraints, a schedule that is globally as close to the baseline schedule as possible is obtained.

Walther, J. H. (2018). Developing personal course plans (PCPs) as an example of self-directed learning in library management and project management education. Journal of Library Administration, 58(1), 91–100.
Project schedules are logic models that focus on the timing of project activities. Value derives from the fact that schedule changes are not random. This resource discusses the necessity of project schedules and how to utilize them effectively.
