Project scheduling & tracking progress
Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis
Baseline creation & comparison
Reporting & dashboards in MS Project
Resource leveling & optimization
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Learn how to break down complex projects into manageable tasks, ensuring clarity in scope and deliverables.
Resource Management: Understand how to assign and optimize manpower, materials, and equipment to maximize efficiency and avoid project delays.
Earned Value Management (EVM): Gain hands-on expertise in tracking project performance by integrating scope, schedule, and cost for accurate forecasting.
Project Scheduling: Create Gantt charts, milestones, dependencies, and critical paths to keep projects on track.
Progress Tracking & Reporting: Monitor actual vs. planned progress, generate professional reports, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
With a practical, step-by-step approach, this course will help you plan, monitor, and deliver construction projects effectively using MS Project. You will gain the skills to manage real-time challenges such as delays, resource overallocation, and cost control in civil engineering projects.
By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently use Microsoft Project as a complete project management tool for civil works - from scheduling to billing, tracking progress, and ensuring successful project delivery.
