All projects, regardless of their size, require a schedule. In addition to key aspects of schedule development, practical case studies will be used to allow sufficient practice of the control techniques and give the project manager a sound basis for effective application of scheduling software.

In this course, participants will focus on managing the constraints they face in any project: limits on time, human resources, materials, budget and specifications. Discover proven ways to work within identified constraints, without letting predefined limits curtail creativity or innovation.

  • Identify, assign, and tabulate resource requirements
  • Predict costs and work time using specific levels and estimate types
  • Plan for contingencies and anticipate variations
