Construction is not a business of individual contributors, it is a people-focused enterprise consisting of many different teams of people coming together for a common purpose. This class is a great example. Students will be evaluated individually on their effort, but required to participate in a team that will need to collaborate outside of the classroom for success. Means and methods of collaboration among team members should be regularly deployed, such as face-to-face and virtual meetings, conference calls, FaceTime, Skype, or Google Docs.

This course focuses on learning how to develop and manage a schedule. The first module provides an overview of the Construction Scheduling course. The second module introduces bar or Gantt charts and how they are used as scheduling tools. During the third module, learners will create activity precedence diagrams, also referred to as activity on node diagrams, which graphically represent the construction activities in a project and their relationships. The fourth module provides an overview of the types of construction activity relationships encountered in a construction project and how to represent them in an activity precedence diagram. Forward and backward pass calculations are covered in the fifth module, and during the sixth module, Professor Odeh discusses the importance of critical paths, including what it is and why it is important.
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free.

Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
In Project Planning, Scheduling, and Control you will be introduced to basic project planning and scheduling methods for construction projects. These include Gantt charts, network scheduling techniques like Critical Path Method and PERT, resource leveling, time cost trade-off, and linear scheduling. You will also study earned value analysis as a fundamental project monitoring and control method. Throughout the course, you will practice applying these principles to create schedules and controls for a simulated construction project.
Construction project schedules can be unwieldy, and, without a steady hand to guide them, will spiral out of control quickly. In this course, learn a systematic approach to creating and managing construction schedules. Through lecture, class exercises and Q&As, you will learn skills and best practices necessary to effectively plan and control projects of any size, such as work breakdown structures, scheduling techniques, scheduling software, cost allocation and claims management. You will also gain an in-depth understanding of scheduling and project controls. By the end of this course, you will know the ins-and-outs of developing, managing and updating a schedule from design through construction completion.
