Day 1: Converting Scope into Connected Activities

Deliverables and Work Packages

• Define project deliverables before scheduling
• Divide deliverables into manageable components
• Prevent duplication or omission within scope
• Build simple WBS for the case

Activities and Dependencies

• Write activities with beginnings and endings
• Identify predecessor and successor relationships
• Build sequence reflecting actual work logic
• Create a small activity network

Durations and Milestones

• Estimate duration from experience and quantities
• Record assumptions affecting duration estimates
• Choose milestones representing meaningful progress
• Prepare an initial activity schedule

Day 2: Building the Schedule and Updating Change Effects

Assembling the Project Schedule

• Place activities on one integrated timeline
• Show key responsibilities and milestones
• Check for inconsistent or conflicting dates
• Build a shareable schedule version

Identifying Schedule-Sensitive Work

• Locate activities unable to tolerate delay
• Compare effect of delaying different activities
• Identify work requiring closer monitoring
• Analyze a simple delay scenario

Updating the Schedule

• Record actual dates and evidenced completion
• Revise forecast timing for delayed activities
• Show change effects on project milestones
• Prepare a weekly schedule update

• WBS and activity exercises using a small project
• Sequencing and duration cards building schedule logic
• Schedule construction from a guided project case
• Applied updates following changes and delays
