PSI Project Management

Project managers often move right to creating the Gantt chart for their projects without considering the importance of a project network diagram. Network diagrams are often confusing to many, but they do provide detailed knowledge to the project manager and the team that you do not see in a Gantt chart. For example, what is the float of the activity or what is the critical path for the project. How do I calculate float and smooth the project schedule to utilize the project resources more efficiently. In this seminar we will review these topics, best practices for networking diagramming, and many other schedule related topics.
