CMCS02: Project Planning & Scheduling

Offered By: CMCS - Collaboration, Management & Control Solutions FZ - LLC
Course Number: CMCS02

This five days training course will provide participants with a through background in the concepts of Planning and Scheduling Engineering and Construction projects. The course addresses how to identify, monitor, and balance information crucial for the successful management of projects. It will discuss the development of a baseline performance management plan (PMP) for the project that will allow the efficient compilation and the timely generation of quantitative performance comparisons. The comparisons highlight significant performance departures ("actual vs. baseline") and allow for preventive and early remedial and corrective actions. In addition to the nine knowledge areas: Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Human Resources, Communications, Risk and Procurement, course will cover Financial, Claims, Safety and Environment. The course will use Primavera For Engineering and Construction 5.0 to demonstrate how today's available tools can be used to effectively manage projects data and provide visibility for important project performance data. It is therefore highly recommended for delegates to attend a course on managing projects using Primavera for Engineering and Construction after attending this course to gain the full competency in applying the knowledge gained on their projects
.
