Project scheduling is where many accidental project managers go wrong. Smart, hard-working people are handed a project without the skills to run it, and an Excel spreadsheet becomes the schedule.
This 90-minute webinar, part of a series on project management for non-project managers, walks you through the scheduling process from start to finish in plain language. You'll go from creating the work breakdown structure (WBS) to defining authority over the schedule, setting dates, dependencies, resources and durations, and building a schedule that supports the project's objectives.
Schedule compression and optimization techniques are applied to worked examples, and the session closes with monitoring and controlling project performance.
Projects are one-time, complex efforts, and a well-built schedule is key to finishing on time and on budget. It lets you manage the trade-offs of the triple constraint (time, cost and quality/scope) and report performance against baselines throughout the project. Without one, project control breaks down and awkward conversations with stakeholders follow.
The session suits any cross-functional team member who may lead a project, including engineers, product, program and contract managers, R&D and manufacturing staff.
Any member of a cross-functional project team that has the potential opportunity to lead that project.
