About this course

This long course teaches how to convert work breakdown into defensible schedules and clear milestone reporting. You will practice constructing compact Gantt/timeline views, linking dependencies, and identifying critical-path activities in small- to medium-sized plans. The course covers distinctions between effort and duration, and using spreadsheets for quick scenario modeling. You will build conditional-format tracking sheets that highlight overdue and at‑risk items, and produce short, stakeholder-ready exports and memos that justify schedule recommendations. The focus is practical: Produce a clean timeline, a formatted tracking sheet, a comparison summary, and a concise stakeholder explanation suitable for steering or release planning contexts.
