Project Management, Scheduling and Control

This 2-day course focuses on project scheduling and control techniques, emphasizing tools like CPM and PERT. Designed for project managers and planners, it equips participants with skills to optimize schedules and ensure project success.

Effective scheduling and control are critical for delivering projects on time and within scope, particularly in complex engineering and construction environments. Project Management, Scheduling and Control is a 2-day course designed to equip professionals with advanced scheduling techniques and control mechanisms. The course covers critical path method (CPM), program evaluation and review technique (PERT), resource levelling, and earned value management (EVM), tailored to technical projects.

Participants will learn to create robust project schedules, identify critical paths, and allocate resources efficiently. The course addresses challenges like schedule delays, resource conflicts, and scope creep, providing strategies to monitor and control project progress. It explores software tools like Microsoft Project and Primavera for scheduling and tracking.

 This course is ideal for professionals seeking to enhance scheduling accuracy, improve project control, and ensure timely delivery.

By the end, attendees will be equipped to develop effective schedules, monitor project performance, and mitigate risks, contributing to successful project outcomes.
