Yesterday’s course was the first complete run through of our updated and re-developed scheduling course based on the PMI practice standard. There was lots of positive feedback and we will be building the learning into the materials before rolling out the course through 2009. One of the changes we are planning is to move some of the technical information into ‘practice notes’ that are included with the course materials (for future reference by the trainee) freeing up time for more practical class work. After nearly 20 years with nothing much changing, scheduling is becoming an interesting space again. The PMI College of Scheduling is nearing the end of its ‘Scheduling Excellence Initiative’ to develop a definitive manual of scheduling best practice (see: http://www.pmicos.org/sei/COS_Website/mainpages/seiindex.html). The Chartered Institute of Building is developing a ‘Best Practice Guide’ for scheduling building projects and a range of usefully innovative tools are starting to appear (for more on these and links to the developers see Mosaic’s scheduling page at (http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Planning.html). Regards, Pat Thank you for the feedback TJ.
