Overview/Description
Typically, when people hear the words 'project management,' they think of schedules. Even though project management is much more than just scheduling, one aspect of it--project time management--is about planning when project activities will occur. This course introduces the basic principles of creating and maintaining a project schedule. It will cover the project inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of the following project time management processes: Activity Duration Estimating, Schedule Development, and Schedule Control. Through interactive learning strategies and real-life scenarios, the learner will explore these concepts and gain a better understanding of the project time management processes in action. This course is aligned with 'A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge' (PMBOK® Guide) - Third Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2004.
