Description
Want to use Gantt charts in your project management? In this course we'll take a one hour look at what Gantt charts are and how they can be used successfully. This course is intended for project managers. As such, we will not go into the intricacies of how to use any one particular project management software, but we'll look at the concepts behind Gantt charts. Purpose and Benefits: Explore the purpose and numerous benefits of Gantt charts, such as visualizing project timelines, enhancing communication, identifying dependencies, and even their use in contract documents.Planning and Building: Plan and build Gantt charts, from defining project scope to breaking down tasks and milestones. Discover the different types of tasks and how to work with various calendars.Project Relationships: Gain a deep understanding of task relationships (FS, SS, FF), critical path analysis, and the ownership of float. Understand why lags are used and when they can be counterproductive.Resource Management: Learn to manage resources effectively, deal with overallocation issues, and navigate resource calendars. Explore the intricacies of leveling resources to optimize your project plan.Progress Monitoring: Set baselines, understand about updating project timelines, and deal with changes effectively. Learn techniques for resequencing tasks to recover lost time and ensure project success.Large-Scale Projects: Get insights into handling large-scale projects, subdividing them into phases, and linking tasks between projects. Learn how to summarize tasks to produce Level 2 or Level 1 printouts. By the end of this course, you'll be able to read Gantt charts and understand some of the complexities behind them that you need as a project manager.
