Presentation Description

Description of Topic/Presentation:

In this course, you will learn about the various facets of Project SRA (Schedule Risk Analysis) through hands-on usage of the most advanced Project Management Tools and Techniques – the IMS (Integrated Master Schedule), and SRA.  You will learn concepts and theories that facilitate the further development of good project plans which consider a proactive risk management process referred to as SRA another “Best Practice” tool and technique.  By mastering these IMS and SRA tools and techniques, you will enhance your team’s project performance and increase your credibility as a high caliber project manager and/or functional lead.

The hands-on experience requires having Microsoft Project (bring your laptops). Those without Microsoft Project can team up with those that do have it.

Learning Objectives:

  1. The Rationale and General Concepts behind overall Project Schedule Risk Analysis to enhance your team’s chances of meeting commitments due to the implementation of proactive risk management
  2. Learning the Practical Application of analyzing and adjusting a project Plan/IMS through actual hands-on experience
  3. Analyze and appropriately adjust the Project IMS (Integrated Master Schedule) Using MS Project® & Chrono™ (an innovative add-in to MS Project that eases the development, baselining, and updating of valid IMS’s and sets then up to readily integrate with other valuable tools and techniques)
  4. The concept of developing an achievable project plan (i.e., one with a reasonable % confidence in meeting project deliverables), and establishing a bought-into more aggressive “Target” plan for the team to work to – which typically improves your likelihood of achieving project commitments, due to the proactive risk management approach taken.
