The Modular Project Management^® Core Modules Include

4. Phase Scheduling

This module presents basic network diagramming and Gantt charting techniques. It then provides more advanced application of precedence analysis (to show how to complete a phase faster) and resource analysis (to gain best use of available staff).

Learning Objectives

	Perform Activity Sequencing, to determine initial precedence relationships.
	Analyze activity flow with Precedence Diagrams; show how to end any phase faster.
	Use Gantt charts to show how to optimize resource use; produce a baseline project schedule.
	Balance the vital-sign tradeoffs when reducing duration or optimizing resource use.
	Describe the use and benefits of Resource Histograms and Cumulative Cost Curve charts.
	Define the requirements for an effective Automated Project Environment.

Audience
The intended audience of all the Core Modules includes Project Managers, leaders, and key team members (including customers or clients) of medium-to-large projects. Managers of project teams will also receive benefit, as well as Project Management Office staff who have not been exposed to the gamut of project management topics they need to support. See the Intact Team option for increased benefit for one or two work groups.
