Schedule strictness should sometimes be taken with a grain of salt, that being, it should be taken in account for things to go off schedule.

The rollout schedule should have some buffer time for more the technical and likely have issue tasks. One way to allow for unknown is to create a contingency plan and execute upon its occurrence. For personnel issues, it is possible that some team members will leave or absence during critical phases. A possible contingency for this could be to cross-train team members or and have experts on standby. For tasks that took extra time to complete, it may be necessary to put subsequent tasks on hold, or even add the task to free time elsewhere in the schedule.
