A complete guide to Project Management – CPM/PERT
The course includes Project Management Techniques like Critical path, Crashing, Program Evaluation and Review Technique
Description
The field of project management is one with significant scope and many applications containing varying degrees of complexity. The more complex a project, the more advanced the methods required to handle it. As a project manager, one must have sound knowledge and a clear understanding of the techniques, methods and evaluation of different durations of activities on a project. This in-depth professional course delves deeply into these advanced methodologies to take your skills to the next level.
We begin the course by exploring network analysis methods and their concepts. Learn how to build network diagrams and the roles of ‘slack’ and ‘float’ in the process. We explore the fundamentals of the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) method and the calculations involved. Analyze the probability of completing a project within a timeframe and calculate the duration with different time constraints on the relevant events. Discover how to reduce the duration and the total cost of a project using the ‘crashing’ method.
Delivering results under constraints is a highly desired skill in project management. This course focuses on different methods for finding the critical path and how to ‘crash’ a project to reduce the overall project completion time with multiple critical approaches to the project. Step-by-step demonstrations of each method will give practical guidance throughout the process. With this advanced course in network methods and project crashing, take your project management skills to the next level. Continue your journey to success and enroll today.
