Creating an accurate schedule is more of an art than a science. However, there are some tools and techniques that you can use to be as precise as possible. This course will introduce you to the most commonly used tools and show you how to apply them to everyday scenarios. We recommend that you complete Intermediate Project Management before beginning this course.

As project managers and leads, we all know how difficult it can be to accurately determine the duration of a project, yet that is exactly what is expected of us on a regular basis. This important course will not disclose the secret of creating an accurate schedule, because there isn’t one. However, it will provide the factors and fundamental elements that you should consider and address when creating any type of schedule.

Participants should complete the Intermediate Project Management workshop prior to this course, or have equivalent knowledge.

Have you had students asking you about effective planning skills and project management, or wondering what’s so important about having scheduler training? Knowing how to tackle the big projects is an important skill for any professional, especially those in charge! Effective scheduling management helps bring visions to life without being overwhelmed by all of the things that have to get done.

With our two-day Effecting Planning and Scheduling course, students learn how to break down projects into more manageable tasks to get things done, as well as how to estimate project duration, resource allocation, risk planning, communication, as well as which software can most help them out, and more!
