Planning and Scheduling Training – Build Accurate and Reliable Project Timelines

£15.00

Project managers and team leads are often expected to predict project durations with precision, yet no single formula guarantees accuracy. This planning and scheduling training course provides the essential tools and techniques needed to create realistic schedules, manage risks, and keep projects on track.

Learners will explore how to define and create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), identify task relationships, and estimate durations effectively. In addition, the course covers network diagrams, critical path analysis, and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). Participants will also learn how to plan for risks, allocate resources, and develop communication strategies that keep stakeholders informed.

By the end of this planning and scheduling training, participants will know how to build schedules that are flexible, transparent, and aligned with project goals.

Accurate scheduling is one of the most challenging aspects of project management.
