Description

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of Time Management (Scheduling), gleaned from the Program Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK), Agile project management, and common practices in the industry. Many project/program managers attempt to self-educate on scheduling and, for years, remain beginners - unable to implement the inputs and outputs of a schedule, resulting in poor predictability. This tool-agnostic course is geared toward hands-on project managers, PMO leads, and middle management, who crave early warnings and predictable outcomes of a project.
