Description
If you need to plan a project, in this course you have concepts, methodology and practical tools to face it.
It's the first of three courses where you'll find the basics of Critical Chain Project Management CCPM.
CCPM was defined by Eli Goldratt, author of The Goal and creator of T.O.C. the Theory of Constraints, at the end of last century.
But even if you decide not to continue with the next two courses, or if you don't want to apply all CCPM, you will learn things to put into practice in your real work. You will learn what to do when it comes to build a network. You will know what a project network is and how to draw the logic that there is under your project using what we call the Functional Structure. This tool goes before the Gantt Chart and once you know it you never stop using it.
First you'll find some classes to introduce the subject:
01. We are going to understand the project as a flow management scenario.
02. Then we will reflect about how we, humans, relate to time, and how this determines the way we manage projects.
03. We are going to know the main steps of the methodology that CCPM applies.
In the second section we focus on a tool: the Functional Structure. We use it to start the process of building a project network.
04. We will know what it is.
05. We will know how to use it.
At the end you have a practical exercise to make your first Functional Structure.
