Which milestone involves adding a detailed design schedule to the Master Schedule?

• A. Administration and Coordination of Design Contracts
• B. Amendment of Master Schedule (to include a detailed design schedule)
• C. Creation of Technical Specification
• D. Development and implementation of the communication management including flow control of the information.

Answer: (B)

Updating the Master Schedule to include the detailed design schedule focuses on aligning the project timeline as design details become available. As design work progresses, planners move from broad milestones to specific design tasks with their own durations, dependencies, and constraints. Amending the Master Schedule to incorporate this detailed design schedule ensures all teams—design, procurement, and construction—work from a single, synchronized plan, enabling accurate sequencing, coordinated milestones, and proper resource planning. The other activities relate to contract management, design outputs, or information flow, not to updating the project-wide timeline with detailed design tasks.
