Project Scheduling   

Learn key concepts and scheduling tools to plan, manage, and control schedules for both predictive and adaptive projects.

Competencies:

• Explore how scheduling tools may be used to develop and manage a schedule.
• Compare and contrast the differences between adaptive and predictive scheduling approaches to ensure a viable schedule.
• Explore the relationship between the project baseline and predictive schedule development to reach the schedule baseline.
• Use a predictive approach to develop a schedule baseline to share with sponsors and stakeholders to gain approval and acceptance.
• Describe the relationship between user stories, tasks, and sprint planning to better understand adaptive planning techniques.
• Use an adaptive approach to develop a task board for a case to share project status and monitor progress.
• Describe schedule optimization techniques to ensure resources are available and aligned.

Using both predictive and adaptive approaches, students will survey methodologies to gain project approval and acceptance. In addition, students will explore scheduling tools available to develop and manage schedules. Adaptive planning techniques and skills will be developed to share project status and monitor progress.
