From the course: Project Management Foundations: Schedules

Welcome

- Project schedules put your juggling skills to the test. When you build a schedule, you try to complete the project scope by its deadline with the resources management gives you, without blowing the project budget. To add to the challenge, the schedule keeps changing as work progresses, so your schedule has to be flexible, too. Hi, I'm Bonnie Biafore. As a project manager, consultant and trainer, I've been helping people schedule and manage projects for years. In this course, I'll guide you through project scheduling, from developing a schedule management plan, to building your schedule, and then fine-tuning it to satisfy the project objectives. We will also explore how to find scheduling problems, shortened timeframes, reduced cost, and more. And I'll point out scheduling best practices all along the way. With these techniques in your toolkit, you'll develop schedules that meet stakeholders' expectations and can also adapt easily to the changes that arise once work begins. Are you ready to dive into scheduling projects? If so, let's get started.
