	The contractor prepares a programme for the works, which is then submitted to the project manager for their approval. If it is approved, this becomes the 'accepted programme'.

This must then be submitted to the project manager, and if accepted, this becomes the accepted programme, sometimes referred to as the updated programme. The final updated programme will show the as-built programme.

	Within the ECC, the ‘activity schedule’ allocates a price to each activity undertaken during the works. This simplifies the administration of the interim payment process. The accepted programme shows how the activities on the activity schedule are programmed. The accepted programme and the activity schedule need not show exactly the same activities, but there should be correlation between them, and they should be kept up to date.
