Planning and scheduling a project is a difficult and time consuming but required task. Not only must the project manager know everything about the project but they must also consolidate, with stakeholders, ALL the tasks into a cohesive logical schedule to guide the project, the team and stakeholders.

Building a plan and a schedule is a group technique requiring leadership skills and attention to the big picture as well as the details. Developing a plan and setting up a schedule doesn’t have to be difficult if you use basic, simplified techniques that do not require a software tool.

The skills and competencies learned may be applied in all endeavors and have consistently shown advantages in: manufacturing, technology, new product development, services sector, health and human services, and the municipality-public sectors..

Who should attend:

• Project sponsors & function/business unit managers,
• Portfolio managers,
• Program/project managers,
• Project team members,
• Auditors and ….
• Other business stakeholders.

These webinars are for individuals who desire to improve the outcome of the business environment.
