Project Management: Scheduling and Planning

Overview

By providing structure to your project scope, you get some control over the project work to be done, and therefore 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.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• Use a number of scheduling techniques and processes to build an effective WBS (work breakdown structure)
• Creating a project timeline with start dates, end dates, and milestones for your project
• Organise tasks, resources, and due dates in sequence
• Listing activities, deliverables, and milestones and assign start and finish dates, duration, and resources to each activity
• Understand the characteristics of a work package
• Better create, communicate, monitor and manage work packages: budget, deadlines, risks, scheduling/sequencing, quality management, deliverables, etc.

Style of the Workshop

The workshop will be hands on, interactive and practical; participants will have the opportunity to work on their own project/s throughout the workshop. Every participant 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.
