Master Project Scheduling and Planning

О курсе

Master professional project scheduling techniques used in modern project management environments and learn how to develop realistic, optimized, and controllable project schedules. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of project schedule management, combining industry-standard methodologies with practical scheduling applications. The course begins with the foundations of project schedule management, introducing activity planning, scheduling frameworks, and the key processes required to build effective project timelines. Learners will understand how activities are defined, organized, and integrated into a structured scheduling approach. As the course progresses, learners will develop expertise in activity sequencing, dependency analysis, and schedule network diagrams using Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM). The course also covers resource estimation, duration forecasting, analog estimating, three-point estimating, and reserve analysis to improve planning accuracy and project predictability. Advanced modules focus on schedule development using Critical Path Method (CPM), float analysis, forward and backward pass calculations, and schedule optimization techniques. Learners will explore resource optimization, Critical Chain Method, leads and lags, schedule compression, and crashing to improve project performance. The course concludes with schedule monitoring, reporting, and control techniques, including baseline management and schedule performance analysis. Learners will also gain hands-on exposure to Microsoft Project for creating, analyzing, and managing professional project schedules. What makes this course unique is its blend of PMI-aligned methodologies, advanced scheduling frameworks, and practical software application. By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently build, optimize, and manage project schedules that support successful project delivery across a wide range of industries.
