This ‘course-in-a-book’ is focused on developing and using
an effective schedule in almost any software tool. It is
designed to provide practical guidance to people involved in
developing, or using, schedules based on the Critical Path
Method (CPM). It acts as a reference and practice guide to
enhance the effectiveness of their scheduling practice after
they have learned to use the CPM scheduling software of
their choice. The basic premise underpinning the development
of this book is that a schedule is only useful if it is
used. Creating a usable schedule requires two parallel
processes:
1. It requires a pragmatic approach to planning and
scheduling the future work of a project
to create a
realistic and achievable schedule.
2. It also requires management to make effective use
of the schedule, which is a management
challenge
that typically involves a significant
shift in culture
and expectations.
Both of these aspects are considered in this
course-in-a-book.
The book is divided into six sections, each section includes guidance on an aspect of CPM scheduling, references, and a set of 20 questions; with the answers in Section 7. Section 8 incorporates the appendix. .
