Project Planning Crush Course

The Fundamentals of Building a Project Schedule

This course focuses on one core skill: producing and monitoring a project schedule that actually holds up. It's built around the practical steps of schedule development rather than abstract project management theory, making it a fast entry point for anyone new to planning.

Topics include the roles and responsibilities of a project planner, why contractual documents matter for scheduling, how to set milestone dates, and how to build a Work Breakdown Structure. The course also covers critical path analysis and resource planning — the pieces that turn a task list into a schedule you can actually manage against.
