Description
In this course, we begin diving into key contract clauses related to breach of contract and changes. Not all breaches are the same and it's important to know the difference as the remedies for breach vary. Changes are inevitable and we must handle them quickly, efficiently and properly to incorporate them into the contract. With a similar theme, the schedule changes as well. The baseline won't be accurate for long and needs to be updated frequently. We'll learn how to properly update and distribute a new schedule each month. Lastly, Earned Value is a tool used by some owners to give them the health of the project. We'll learn the proper way to establish the earned value system and analyze a project to provide clues whether it's tracking.
