Project Management: Scheduling and Planning

Overview

This course will help you to become competent and confident in managing projects through robust scheduling and clearly defined work packages. By providing structure to your project scope, you will gain control over the work to be done and increase the chance that you’ll succeed. Before you get started, you need to figure out every step in the project scope. That’s where a work breakdown structure (WBS) and work packages come in.

This workshop is hands on, interactive and practical, with learners being given the opportunity to work on their own projects throughout. Everyone should arrive with a project they would like to work on (current or past) and be prepared to collaborate with other participants and share their learning.
