Course Introduction
This Project Scheduling and Cost Control training program will provide participants with a thorough background in the concepts of Planning and Scheduling projects.
The training program focuses on topics such as project estimating basics, developing and controlling budgets, measuring risk, and measuring project performance. It will discuss the development of a baseline performance management plan for the project that will allow the efficient compilation and the timely generation of quantitative performance comparisons. The comparisons highlight significant performance departures ("actual vs. baseline") and allow for preventive and early remedial and corrective actions.
