Project Schedule Management (Critical Path Method)
Why take this course?
🎓 Project Schedule Management (Critical Path Method): Mastering Time for Effective Project Execution
Headline: 🚀 Dive into the World of Efficient Project Scheduling with Our Expert-Led Course!
Course Description:
Effective time management is a cornerstone of successful project completion. It ensures that all tasks are completed within the set timeframe, and this course will teach you how to master it through Network Analysis and the Critical Path Method (CPM). You'll learn to create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and build a Schedule Network Diagram, which is crucial for understanding the sequence of your tasks. By setting time constraints, you can enhance your focus and efficiency, leading to better project outcomes.
By the End of This Course, You Will:
- ✅ Comprehend Network Analysis for Project Scheduling
- ✅ Know How to Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
- ✅ Learn to Develop a Schedule Network Diagram
- ✅ Understand the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Identify Critical Paths
- ✅ Apply Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM) to Determine Critical Paths
- ✅ Implement Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)/Activity on Node (AON) for Network Diagrams
- ✅ Calculate Early Start (ES), Early Finish (EF), Late Start (LS), and Late Finish (LF)
- ✅ Determine Total Float (TF) and Free Float (FF)
- ✅ Utilize Microsoft Project Effectively
