Event Description-

Project Managers think "schedule is king".  Executives often take the view that "schedules are a necessary evil".

The mathematics of scheduling are often too difficult to communicate... this leads to mismatched expectations, flawed execution and ultimately, stress

So, what should executives provide to project managers?

What should project managers communicate to executives?

This seminar covers the following topics:

·          Why do Executives/Managers need to understand and review schedules?

·          Characteristics of good and bad schedules

·          Common mistakes

·          What should an Executive/Manager expect from a schedule?

·          Questions that should be asked in a Schedule Review

·          Executive/Managerial Homework

·          Understanding Schedule Recovery options
