This webinar is the fourth of a 4 part series series on Project Scheduling by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

The project schedule developed at the beginning of a project is not a guarantee of what will occur. Project schedules are in fact, only a point-in-time guess. Many things will conspire to invalidate the plan – project team members may not be available or may leave the project, technologies may work better or worse than expected, changes may be approved, and so on.

Attend this 1 hour presentation to learn why it is important to monitor progress against the schedule, communicate the progress, and refine the schedule based on facts and our observations.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• Understand effects of path convergence and joint probabilities
• Discover recommended best practices for effectively controlling project schedules
• Understand how to use earned value to monitor project schedules
• Learn about considerations for preventive and corrective actions when controlling project schedules.
• Gather practical implementation tips for effectively monitoring and controlling projects
