DescriptionEmbark on a transformative journey with Jamal, a seasoned project management consultant, in this comprehensive course on Schedule Management. Drawing from his 25 years of experience in consulting and managing major projects, Jamal shares valuable insights and practical techniques to master the art of schedule management.
Beginning with an overview of the project manager's responsibilities, we explore the vital role of the schedule management plan within the overall project plan. We then dive into the key steps of the schedule management process, including Activity Definition, Activity Sequencing, Activity Resource Estimating, Activity Duration Estimating, Schedule Development, and Schedule Control.
Within Schedule Development, we explore various tools and techniques, such as software commonly used for scheduling, Activity Sequencing using methods like Precedence diagramming (PDM) and Arrow diagramming (ADM), and Activity Duration Estimation employing expert judgment, analogous estimating (Top-Down), engineering estimating (Bottom-Up), and network diagrams including PERT and Critical Path methods.
Continuing our exploration, we delve into project schedule controls methodologies, including Variance Analysis, which involves comparing Scheduled Time with Actual Time, and Earned Value Management (EVM), where metrics like SV, SPI, EAC, ETC, and VAC provide valuable insights.
We also examine schedule variance tolerances and discuss the levels at which they should be tracked. Additionally, we explore several methods for the Schedule Variance Response Process, equipping you with effective strategies to address deviations from the planned schedule.
Subsequently, we shift our focus to Project Schedule with the aid of real-life examples, enabling you to better understand practical implementation. We also explore the Schedule Change Control Process, which involves Schedule Control and managing schedule changes through the Change Request document. Furthermore, we discuss assessing the impact of changes on the overall project.
To reinforce your learning, you will be provided with an assignment that challenges you to create your own Schedule Management Plan, applying the knowledge and techniques acquired throughout the course. This hands-on exercise, such as planning a bathroom or kitchen renovation project, allows you to practically apply the principles of schedule management.
Enroll in this course led by Jamal and acquire the expertise to effectively manage project schedules. Gain valuable skills in scheduling tools and techniques, variance analysis, earned value management, and change control. Propel your project management career forward with the mastery of Schedule Management.
