Overview/Description

Part of project management is creating and keeping to a schedule. PMs must list, define, and sequence a project activity list, including activity attributes and product milestones, and they must take into consideration lead and lag time. It can be a lot to keep track of.

In this course, you'll explore methods for creating workable project schedules using tools like a work breakdown structure (WBS) and methods like precedence diagramming, network diagrams, and analogous estimating. You'll also explore parametric and three-point estimating and tools for defining activities.
