Construction Project Management: Project Scheduling Applications

In previous courses in this series, we focused more on tactical use of the schedule to manage specific components of the project, such as production, time, resources, and costs. In this interactive, online course, we’ll consider strategic scheduling applications as they relate to the overall project, including legal aspects of the schedule. This course considers the role of the schedule and the variety of operational schedules available to the project manager. It also discusses the ways scheduling information can be organized and presented.
