This is a different project from what we have used in our above sections. You can find the attached pdf for the project resources & other details. I am not going in depth for creation & project setup since it is bonus section. This only focuses on delay analysis. Doing this section is optional.
The course is divided into 9 Sections consisting of a total of 31 videos. One practical IT Building Construction Project has been taken as an example to help the students learn the process of scheduling & project management. The project has set of activities, WBS, resources, costs, baseline, expenses, documents, risks, etc. Everything is explained in the simplest way possible through real examples to help the students get an industry like exposure. It is ensured that every video is linked to the real project scenarios unlike other teachers who randomly take topics and examples having absolutely zero correlation with each other. This will also help you get the real feel of executing a project at site.
The flow of the course is as follows -
Section 1 (Introduction) - Shows the outline of the complete course and is meant to make you aware of the User Interface of the software.
Section 2 (Planning the Project) - Here you will learn to create the real project by adding Organizational Structure, Company's Divisions, Project, and Work Packages.
