Course Overview
Effective scheduling and time management are critical for project success. Delays, resource conflicts, and unrealistic timelines are among the most common causes of project failure. By applying structured scheduling techniques and time management practices, leaders can improve predictability, efficiency, and stakeholder confidence.
This Scheduling Techniques and Time Management Training Course equips participants with practical methods to plan, monitor, and control project timelines. Through case studies, simulations, and hands-on exercises, participants will practice applying scheduling tools such as critical path method (CPM), Gantt charts, and resource leveling, while also developing personal and team time management strategies.
By the end of the course, participants will have the skills to create realistic schedules, anticipate risks, and ensure projects are delivered on time and within scope.
