Many Project Managers and Project Analysts create, manage, modify, and maintain project schedules for one or more projects. This process is complex and requires practical, hands-on experience. Creating a schedule includes defining a structured list of tasks; setting durations, dependencies and constraints; analyzing and assessing the critical path; loading resources and resource availability for a project; and, further defining other required project information.

Agenda:
- Understand and demonstrate the steps necessary to develop and document:
- A set of task/activity definitions/list
- All required task/activity dependencies
- An estimate of resource requirements for identified tasks/activities (people, materials...etc.)
- A resource calendar for all organic or contractually available resources to include capability and availability (for example - a SW Engineer who works part-time M-Th from 0800-1700)
- Create a project critical path-based network aligned to the outputs of Objective 1a thru 1c above.
- Allocate resources to the project network based upon calendars and publish an initial project schedule.
- Revise project schedule based upon variations in resource capability and availability - "What If Scenarios" to include sickness, loss of people, changes in scope... etc.
