Certificate in Project Scheduling and Controls

The purpose of scheduling is to provide a ‘‘roadmap’’ that represents how and when the project will deliver the products defined in the project scope and by the project team. The dynamic nature of a project’s execution is best served by a tool that allows for modeling of the plan and analysis due to the impact of progress and unforeseen developments.

By creating a solid schedule at the start of the project, project managers can help curb cost overruns, resource shortages or excessive change requests.
