As part of the course, all trainees working through the materials are welcome to email Mosaic with any questions or requests for additional information they may have at any time. We will attempt to answer all emails within 24 Hrs of receipt.

This ‘course-in-a-book’ is focused on developing and using an effective schedule in almost any software tool. It is designed to provide practical guidance to people involved in developing, or using, schedules based on the Critical Path Method (CPM). It acts as a reference and practice guide to enhance the effectiveness of their scheduling practice after they have learned to use the CPM scheduling software of their choice. The basic premise underpinning the development of this book is that a schedule is only useful if it is used. Creating a usable schedule requires two parallel processes:
1. It requires a pragmatic approach to planning and
    scheduling the future work of a project to create a
    realistic and achievable schedule.
2. It also requires management to make effective use
    of the schedule, which is a management challenge
    that typically involves a significant shift in culture
    and expectations.
Both of these aspects are considered in this course-in-a-book.

The book is divided into six sections, each section includes guidance on an aspect of CPM scheduling, references, and a set of 20 questions; with the answers in Section 7. Section 8 incorporates the appendix. .

$35.00 AUD (Plus GST, Australian customers only).
Size: 295 pages, 120 questions, file size 22 Mb.
