Course Overview
Project scheduling involves identifying resources available for the project work and using this information to prepare a schedule to be used by the project team. One key success driver for projects is the ability to start and finish project work at the agreed dates. Project completion time has become one of the big issues facing so many projects embarked on. In this course we look at the use of a very valuable tool; a project schedule. We will look at how to create realistic schedules, update and track progress.
