Course Duration: ½ Day

Course Description:

Any project can be broken down into a number of tasks that have to be performed. To prepare the project time (schedule) plan, the project manager has the responsibility to figure out what the tasks are, how long they will take, what resources they require, and in what order they should be done. Each of these elements has a direct bearing on the development of an effective, legitimate and robust project schedule.

If the project manager fails to include all the required tasks, then the project time (schedule) plan will not be complete. If the project manager underestimates the length of time or the amount of resources required for a planned tasks, he or she may end up missing the dates in the project schedule. Furthermore the projects schedule will also be severely compromised if the sequencing of project tasks is incorrect.
