Planning and Scheduling Projects

1 day

​

The project schedule keeps your project going - communicating the work to be completed, who will perform the work and the time frames in which is to be done.  A solid project schedule will ensure all aspects are properly planned, balancing workloads and keeping people on track.

Depending on the length and complexity of your project your project schedule can range from a simple chronological task list, to a complex array of interrelated tasks and dependencies.  This in depth course will give you the skills to create master project plans, understand the impact of budget and develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) to deliver your projects on time and on budget.
