Renowned speaker and master scheduler, Eric Uyttewaal (LinkedIn profile), will present an executive overview of his book “Forecast Scheduling with Microsoft Project 2010”.

He will show you how to forecast your project with just the schedule, without the need for advanced techniques like Earned Value.

Forecast Scheduling builds onto his principle of Dynamic Scheduling that minimized the effort spent on scheduling projects.

Eric will challenge you to forecast the actual finish date and total cost of your project, which is what most stakeholders expect from the scheduler.

This presentation will show you how to create a dynamic model of the project to forecast it and take scheduling to the next level.

Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.

Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess” when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.

This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.

Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.

Who should attend this webinar?
COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers
