Project Scheduling Workshop

Description

Build Better Schedules.  Run Better Projects.

The purpose of this hands-on workshop is to align the project team around scheduling fundamentals and develop general scheduling skills using CPM software. It's not about becoming an expert scheduler — it's about building confidence, speaking the same language, and using the schedule as a tool for better planning, coordination, and project control.

• Understand the "why" behind scheduling – not just the mechanics, but how it supports better risk management, communication, and project delivery.
• Get aligned as a team – common language, shared expectations, and improved collaboration between PMs, Supers, and Estimators.
• Understand contract schedule terms – avoid surprises by knowing what contract dates and language mean for the field.
• Build confidence using CPM software – hands-on, foundational skills in navigating the software, entering key information, updating schedules, and interpreting data.
• Learn scheduling fundamentals – critical path, slack, relationships, baselines, progress updates, and recovery strategies.
• Improve planning and accountability – connect planning sessions, daily huddles, and look-aheads back to the master schedule.
• Identify and manage delays proactively – know how to spot schedule risks early and adjust before they become fires.
• Elevate schedule quality – create more accurate, usable schedules that reflect actual jobsite conditions.
