Purpose:
This course develops participants’ ability to apply advanced scheduling concepts, techniques, and analytical methods to support the development, evaluation, and optimization of schedules for major USACE projects.
Description:
The Advanced Scheduling for Projects course provides hands-on instruction in advanced scheduling techniques, analysis methods, and tools relevant to Project Managers, Program Managers, Analysts, Resource Providers, Construction Project Engineers, Construction Admin/Office Engineers and Resident Engineers. This course shall be prioritized for USACE employees but available to DOW employees only, due to software availability. Building on foundational scheduling concepts, the course focuses on applying advanced techniques to develop, analyze, and strengthen project scheduling practices. Topics include resource and cost loading, contingency planning and risk analysis, schedule optimization, high-stakes communication, and the application of these techniques using Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC). The Advanced Scheduling for Projects course is not an entry level course or for someone that has only recently taken a basic scheduling class such as PROSPECT 143.
Prerequisites:
Project or Program Managers (GS12 to 15), Program/Budget Analysts (GS9 to 13), Schedulers (GS11 to GS14), Resource Providers (GS12 to 14), and Project Engineers/Resident Engineers/Contract Administrators. (GS11 to GS14).
Participants should have foundational knowledge of project scheduling. Successful completion of PROSPECT 143 Scheduling Basics for Projects, or equivalent foundational scheduling training, is required. With that foundation in place, participants must have a working knowledge of the following scheduling concepts and terminology: activities and activity types, relationships and logic, calendars, constraints, critical path and float, and basic schedule development and maintenance. Basic familiarity with Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) is also recommended; prior experience developing or managing a project in OPC is not required.
