Essential Project Time Management Training

The Project Time Management course addresses the identification, elaboration, planning, and management of the project schedule. Including selected processes from the PMI Integration, Cost, Scope and Time Knowledge Areas, this class addresses the development of a Project Activity List, development and analysis of Project Network Diagrams, Schedule Analysis, Critical Path Methodology, Critical Chain Methodology, Schedule Contingency Planning, Level of Effort Planning, Hammock Tasks, Schedule Compression, and the Project Schedule Baseline. In addition it addressed preparing a schedule that supports variance analysis and corrective action using Earned Value Management. Using a combination of theory based lecture and hands on exercises, students are provided with an effective skill set for developing and controlling the project schedule baseline.

NOTE: This course is designed to allow integration with a 1–day Scope Management course to provide the student with a comprehensive tool set for developing the Scope and Schedule baselines for a project. The combined course is 3–days.
