Managing Project Time and Scope

Managing scope is essential to all project managers. This process ensures that all the work necessary to complete the project is established at the beginning of the project so that the cost and schedule stay on track throughout the project. In this course we will look at techniques used in identifying scope, collecting requirements, creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and managing scope creep during project execution. Using the WBS we will look at each of the activities to determine a viable schedule for the project. We will look at topics such as sequencing activities, estimating activity resources and duration, and developing the project schedule. We will also look at using Critical Path Method to manage project duration and to determine the amount of flexibility in the schedule. These topics will be presented using a combination of real world examples, case studies, exercises and theory.
