Project Scheduling for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Project Scheduling for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through lessons learned and stakeholder communication without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because most project failure is visible in the schedule long before it is admitted in the status report, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with project reporting, resource planning and quality assurance in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put project reporting on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against the PMBOK guide
- Take ownership of resource planning rather than escalating it
- Review quality assurance and say plainly whether it is working
- Improve cost estimation within their own organisation
