Purpose:
The Corps of Engineers relies on project management principles to deliver meet the Nation's toughest challenges - scheduling techniques are key and essential to project management. The scheduling techniques that this course covers are useful for all projects. The course was primarily developed to introduce the concept of network scheduling to project managers, and it is so oriented in its examples. While this class does not provide a hands-on application of specific scheduling software, the course provides an introduction and understanding of basic network scheduling and manual and computer analysis in both original schedules and progress updates using typical P2 screens and information.

Description:
The Corps of Engineers relies on project management principles to meet the Nation's toughest challenges – scheduling techniques are essential to project management and is required by USACE Engineering Regulation 5-1-11. The scheduling techniques that this course covers are useful for all projects. The course was primarily developed to introduce the concept of network scheduling to project managers, analysts and schedulers, and it is so oriented in its examples. The course provides an introduction and understanding of basic network scheduling and manual and computer analysis in both original schedules and progress updates using typical Primavera screens and information. After completing the course, the student should be able to develop, define, analyze, and update a schedule. Through lectures and workshop sessions, the course covers schedule development and basic diagramming techniques; analysis of diagram for starting and finishing times; utilization of a network diagram for project control, determination of progress; effects of project delays; and changes in scope.

Prerequisites:
Students should have a current or projected assignment requiring the ability to develop, analyze, or update a schedule. Prior knowledge of a network system or Primavera is not required. This course is intended to meet the project scheduling requirement for Corps of Engineers PM certification at all levels (formerly covered by the Project Scheduling (NAS) course). This course is highly desirable for Project Managers, Program Analysts, and Primavera Schedulers or Project Controls Analysts. Proper project scheduling techniques improve program and project execution across the USACE and therefore benefits everyone.

Notes:
All courses that were submitted in 2016 without a full formal review have been retired. I am working to submit applications to PMI for review and will update with new PDU numbers once processed through PMI.
