Estimating, Scheduling and Budgeting Skills
for Achieving Project Success
Estimation is a difficult process but one of the most critical components of a successful project. The classic challenge for all project managers is to complete their projects on time and within budget, yet projects in every industry often exceed their original projections.
Project schedule slippage and cost overruns are almost always linked to a poor original estimate of duration and cost. Therefore it is critical for project managers to acquire the skills to estimate realistic budgets and stay within planned project scope.
The savvy project manager must do the upfront work to assess the financial viability of their projects and identify potential risks that may create obstacles during implementation. Proper estimation is one of the key skills that makes this possible.
The following courses will help you develop the necessary estimating, scheduling, and budgeting skills needed for achieving project success.
