What you can learn.
- Describe scheduling approaches and distinguish among key concepts such as Critical
Path Method versus Agile emerging practices, Predictive/Waterfall versus Rolling Wave
and Hybrid trends, and adaptive methodologies versus tailoring considerations - Identify key scheduling components required to develop a project schedule with key
milestones using basic planning tools such as a Gantt chart, network diagrams, or
Burndown charts - Develop schedule by expanding WBS and decomposing work into activities, sequencing
and estimating their duration using PERT analysis, top-down and analogous techniques,
as well as bottom-up calculations - Identify dependencies and constraints among activities, manipulating leads and lags on
critical path activities and optimizing schedule through crashing, smoothing and resource
leveling techniques - Perform budget formation from the scope and schedule baselines considering risks and
tradeoffs in planning, and learn the necessity of the contingency and management
reserves as fall back tactics to preserve overall budget - Prepare project-funding using cost estimations from PERT analysis, top-down and
analogous techniques, as well as bottom-up calculations, considering factors including
cost units, levels of precision and accuracy - Utilize the Earned Value Management principles and apply analytical techniques to track
actual costs incurred on the project, and compare to planned and earned values, reporting
status, progress, as well as projections on future work in the project
