About PMP Masterclass Module 14 – PMP Project Schedule Management Knowledge Area
Welcome Back! This is the first of four Modules covering Schedule Management and contains three video lessons. There are six PMBOK processes covered within these four Modules.
In this Module we cover the Plan Schedule Management and Define Activities processes. In the middle of the video lessons we also cover the Critical Path Method and resource leveling and smoothing techniques.
Module Content
The Schedule Management Plan defines how the schedule will be defined, measured, when and how often progress is tracked, and actions for project deviation, and how progress will be reported. The SMP becomes part of the Project Management Plan.
This process can be performed as soon as the scope baseline has been created. Work Packages identified on the WBS often contain multiple activities – it is these that will be further broken down to create the Activity List.
Here, we arrange the activities in the order that they must be performed, ensuring a logical schedule sequence and logical activity relationships. this will be used to create the schedule later – but for now, it ONLY contains the activity order and dependencies – there are NO start or finish dates yet.
