Course Information

Introduction

This course teaches practical methods to keep projects on schedule and on budget. You will learn how to measure progress, forecast outcomes, and take corrective action before problems escalate. The content links scheduling, cost data and change control so decisions reflect real project status. Exercises use real formats and tools you can apply immediately on live projects.

2. Build integrated time-cost baselines using resource-loaded schedules and budgeted cost accounts.
3. Prepare justified forecasts (EAC, ETC) and short-term lookaheads to support decision making.
4. Implement change-control workflows that trace scope changes to schedule and cost impacts.
