In two to three paragraphs, describe the significance of procurement scheduling to project success.

Guidelines for Submission: The procurement schedule should be a one- to two-page Microsoft Word document, including diagrams or spreadsheets as appropriate, with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
