Duration: 1 Hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Sponsored by: Scheduling CoP (REP #L002)

Steve Devaux’s 1999 book Total Project Control: A Manager’s Guide to Integrated Project Planning, Measuring, and Tracking introduced the concept of critical path drag, which three major PM packages now compute. His 2012 article “The Drag Efficient” (Defense AT&L Magazine) and his chapter “Time is a Killer” in A Handbook of Emergency Response (CRC Press, 2013) expand on the concept.

This webinar will explain the importance of drag in schedule optimization and recovery, and how to calculate it in both all-FS networks and with complex dependencies.

The webinar presenter will be Steve Devaux (LinkedIn profile), PMP, MSPM, the President of Analytic Project Management, Swampscott, MA. He has taught project management as Adjunct Instructor at Suffolk, Brandeis, and University of the West Indies. Devaux has consulted for over 25 years with numerous Fortune 500 clients, including Siemens, BAE Systems, Texas Instruments, Wells Fargo Bank, Intelsat, Wyeth, Respironics and iRobot.
