Description
If you need to schedule a project, in this course you have concepts, methodology and practical tools to face it.
It is the second of three courses where you will 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.
In the previous course you saw how to obtain a network. Now it is time to convert this network in a schedule. We need calendars, we need deadlines. We want our project to be as shorten as possible but we want to be reliable.
In the first section we are going to learn about uncertainty and estimates.
In the second section we are going to see how to build the schedule. If we want to know what determines the length of our project we need to focus on the chain of activities that determines the duration.
And then we are going to see the most important concept of CCPM: the Buffer. How to protect our deadline with less protection.
And you have some exercises to practice the methodology to be sure you understood the concepts and how to do it.
