This Webinar is eligible for 1 PMI® PDUs in the Technical category of the Talent Triangle.
Event Description:
Microsoft Project can be turned into an estimating tool with continuously improving data. Making schedules for specific projects from a template provides consistent schedule structure and vocabulary, accumulating lessons learned, and estimating data. The features enable two techniques, 1) analogous estimating, which is scaling parts of a schedule or an entire project estimate, and 2) parametric estimating, which is scaling the number of items a detail tasks produces. The download template also illustrates 1) how to include a risk reserve and estimating uncertainty buffer and 2) how to produce an Excel report with tabs for tasks recently completed, underway, and coming soon (Kanban).
