MGMT 2216 Schedule and Cost Control (3-3-4)
This course emphasizes a hands-on approach to using project management tools to facilitate scheduling, estimating, tracking, and controlling the schedule and costs of the project. A project baseline will be set so that actual schedule and cost variances can be compared to the project baseline and corrective actions can be developed to address the variances. Specific topics include Gantt, PERT, and Milestone charts; critical path methods; earned value techniques; and present value and internal rates of return. Other topics include ways to communicate project status and to do contingency planning. This course will examine ways of identifying, evaluating, and mitigating the risk associated with scheduling and cost control.
