About This Course
Sequencing activities clarifies how work really flows, which tasks drive the end date, and where flexibility exists. Clear logic, correct dependencies and transparent float calculations make schedules more robust and easier to defend.
You’ll practise building schedule network diagrams, applying PDM, calculating float, and communicating the critical path so teams can plan resources, manage risks and optimise duration with confidence.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Define key scheduling terms and explain their role in time management.
- Build and interpret a schedule network diagram using PDM.
- Classify dependencies and apply them correctly, including leads and lags.
- Calculate ES/EF/LS/LF and determine activity and path float.
- Identify, report and communicate the project’s critical and near-critical paths.
- Recommend risk mitigations and compression options without breaking schedule logic.
