Overview/Description

Project management, in part, means time management. Your project characteristics, scope, and available resources will all play a role in defining the schedule activities and milestones, but it's up to you to create and maintain the schedule for efficient progress.

In this course, you'll explore the planning and management of the project schedule from traditional and Agile project management perspectives. You'll learn about creating a schedule management plan, the use of Gantt charts, product roadmapping, and forward and backward passing. You'll also learn about Agile-specific processes like Scrum, product backlog, and sprint planning.
