Training Module offered by D. Brown Management.

The module takes you through a brief history of scheduling, including the basic elements of a schedule, using the Gantt Chart, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), and the Critical Path Method of scheduling (CPM) as examples of how you can create a functional and detailed schedule for your projects. You cannot assume a schedule is good just because it has a lot of colored lines, and the start and end dates are correct. This is an error that is made all too often. We’ll show you how to avoid making it in the future, by detailing what needs to happen within the schedule before you even break ground

We start with the smarts of the schedule. The logic of the construction schedule is as critical, if not more so, than the duration of the project. Each aspect of the project needs to be accounted for, including resources, labor, and time involved to complete. The module teaches you how to combine the necessary duration of the project along with the essential logic of the project. We also detail what happens when the timeline exceeds the end date of the project, and we give you the knowledge to alter the outcome so you stay on target.
