Ninety-one percent of all projects fall behind their
estimated completion date, partially because not all the
tasks and activities that are required to accomplish the
project are identified and planned. If you are having
trouble planning all the steps in your projects, this
workshop is for you! |

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Individuals attending this session are involved in one
or more of the following areas:
-
Identifying and documenting specific activities.
-
Connecting activities to project deliverables.
-
Sequencing activities to honor dependent and concurrent
relationships.
-
Completing each activity or task in the project plan.
WHAT THE SESSION PROVIDES
This session
will help you to learn how to create generic estimates as
well as how to adjust estimates.
Participants
will drill down into techniques used to calculate start and
finish dates as well as critical path method (CPM) and
program evaluation and review techniques (PERT). They
will also discover the effect of resource loading on the
critical path.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS LEARN
After attending this
session, the participants will be able to:
- Use
Work Breakdown Structure method to identify activities.
- Use
Network Diagrams to represent activity, sequences,
dependencies and concurrencies.
-
Consider requirements and environmental factors to
estimate.
-
Differentiate base work effort from elapsed time and
duration.
-
Identify risks and assumptions inherent in the estimates.
-
Consider Project constraints when determining dates.
