Project Scheduling eWorkbook: Learn by Doing Using Microsoft Project 2nd Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

The Project Scheduling eWorkbook uses a combination of lectures, traditional exercises, and computer exercises to teach the principles of predictive (traditional) project scheduling and use of the Microsoft Project (MS Project) application. Each chapter of the Project Scheduling eWorkbook begins with a set of lecture slides to cover basic principles and prepare students for the exercises. Chapters contain exercises to manually demonstrate the principles followed by computer exercises applying the principles using MS Project. The Project Scheduling eWorkbook includes 120 lecture slides along with 13 traditional and 15 computer exercises covering the following ten topics: Phases, WBS, Networks, Durations, Resources, Leveling, Critical Path, Cost, Baseline, and Earned Value.
The Project Scheduling eWorkbook teaches basic principles and applies MS Project to create a project and utilize MS Project tools to achieve the desired outcome. Each exercise is performed using worksheets to evaluate student responses or interpretation of the MS Project solutions. The workbook includes the MS Project Gantt chart solutions to each MS Project exercise. The combination of slide content, manual and MS Project exercises, and MS Project Gantt Chart solutions provides a solid instructional foundation and reference for participants to use in creating their own projects.
For added practice outside of class, the Bakersfield project in Appendices A and B provides instructions for a typical construction project. The Bakersfield project is in three progressive parts that controls the depth to which scheduling software is used and contains nine selectable deliverables that determines the scope and effort needed to complete the project. Students and/or instructors customize the project to fit their needs by selecting from the three parts and nine deliverables enabling it to adapt to course objectives and duration.
