Master project scheduling with practical, job-ready skills used by top project managers. Learn how to plan, build, optimize, and control project timelines with confidence.
This course provides a complete guide to project time management, covering activity sequencing, resource estimation, duration planning, and advanced scheduling techniques like Critical Path Method (CPM) and Critical Chain.
You will gain hands-on understanding of network diagrams, float calculations, Gantt charts, and schedule compression techniques such as crashing and fast tracking. Designed for aspiring project managers and PMP/CAPM candidates, this course focuses on real-world application rather than theory.
By the end of this course, you will be able to develop accurate schedules, identify critical activities, optimize timelines, and effectively monitor project performance.
Learn how to establish a structured scheduling approach by defining schedule management strategies, planning methods, and activity identification techniques.
Understand how to sequence activities, define dependencies, and build logical relationships using techniques like PDM and network diagrams.
Explore how to estimate and allocate resources effectively, ensuring optimal utilization and alignment with project requirements.
Apply estimation methods such as three-point estimating and reserve analysis to develop accurate activity durations.
Develop complete project schedules using inputs, tools, and techniques, including Critical Path Method and float analysis.
Master advanced calculations like ES, EF, LS, LF, and explore network diagrams and Critical Chain Method for optimization.
Learn to optimize schedules using crashing and fast tracking, and control timelines through monitoring and performance analysis.
