PMI-SP® credential is the most important industry-recognised certification for project schedulers and project managers. Candidates for the PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) will learn there is much more to project scheduling than just the use of tools and technology to build a schedule for your team.

Schedules are a fundamental element of project management, yet half of all projects – 50 percent – are not completed within the initially scheduled timeframe according to our 2015 Pulse of the Profession® report.

Projects and teams today are increasingly global and virtual, and project schedules are key to managing activities, resources, dependencies and ultimately, project outcomes. The PMI-SP will recognise your knowledge and skill to drive the improved management of project schedules.

Key Points:

  • Schedule strategy
  • Schedule planning and development
  • Schedule monitoring and controlling
  • Schedule closeout
  • Schedule communication management

Benefits:

Projects are generally complex endeavors; however, a detailed schedule model may result in decomposing projects into manageable phases or groupings.

Project performance is then reported and monitored when progress against these activities and milestones is recorded. As progress is recorded on a project, the remaining effort requires reassessment. The execution of a project often does not proceed exactly as it was initially planned and baselined.

In a typical project environment, because of inadequate planning or significant project changes, it becomes necessary to refine the schedule model.

This iterative evolution is required to predict, recognise, and address those evolving factors and issues that will potentially affect project performance.

The key to project success is to apply knowledge and experience to create a project management plan and then commit to execute the project according to the plan.

Scheduling is one of the basic requirements of project management planning and analysis.
