Scoping and Scheduling Successful Projects
Course Overview
Accurately defining project scope sets the foundation for a successful project that accomplishes organizational needs. Research has shown that substandard requirements and scoping techniques often result in projects exceeding their planned budgets by as much as 200%. Additionally, generating a realistic schedule based on accurate resource and duration estimates troubles even the most the senior project managers. This course, based on PMI®’s PMBOK® Guide, Sixth Edition, provides participants with the tools and techniques to help them determine and deliver products, services, and results that meet requirements, expectations, and deadlines.
Course Length
2 days (14 contact hours)
