Quantitative Project Manager (QPM®) is a series of 15 educational challenges (stripes that can be earned) for those who want to understand the mathematical detail of how to plan, execute, and control reliable projects that consistently meet their goals. QPM® is about the science of project management.

This webinar will discuss a Microsoft Project Template that will perform the calculations necessary to build a Quantitative Project Manager’s planfor “Snow White’s Castle Renovation Project”.

The talk will begin with how to make less-biased work estimates and progress to cost and schedule targets that are “98% reliable.” While QPM® originally used a simple spreadsheet to illustrate its tools, Snow White’s Microsoft Project Template adds several handy tools to the user’s ability to plan and manage a project.

This presentation will detail how a project manager can use Snow White’s MS Project Template to get the best out of both sets of tools.

A white paper that summarizes the webinar will be available on the New Leaf web site after the presentation and two MS Project templates will be available for downloading.

The session will also include some interactive exercises, so bring a pencil and come prepared to participate!

Learning Objectives:

During this event, students will become familiar with the fundamental ideas behind the QPM™ tools and techniques and how they can be used in MS Project.

Presenter: Jack Nevison PMP, (LinkedIn profile) is President of New Leaf Project Management, and author of books and articles on project management.  He has served on the editorial board of the PMNetwork for ten years.
