From the course: Construction Management: Planning and Scheduling

Welcome and introduction

- Hi, and welcome to another course in our Construction Management series. I'm Jim Rogers, and in this course, I'm going to cover the topics of planning and scheduling. Now if you noticed there, I used the term topics, plural, because planning and scheduling are two different activities. Like many other topics in construction, they're very closely linked, but they are two different activities that begin at two different times in the construction process. Planning and scheduling are critical skills for today's construction management professional, so join me as I run through the how's and the why's of planning and scheduling. Along the way, I'll share some stories of my successes in the realm of construction planning and scheduling, along with a few of my failures, so that you gain an understanding of the importance of proper planning and accurate scheduling. Stick with me, and let's jump into the course.
