CONST 230 - Project Management - Planning and Scheduling (Teach Out) 5 Total Credits Understand how to plan a construction project using the CSI MasterFormat and use to build a work breakdown structure (WBS). Identify work packages, tasks, and activities established in the cost estimate, including effort and duration baselines. Create a network diagram and develop a critical path by allotting time for activities within a construction project. Identify risks and alternative strategies that impact schedules and meet project milestones and deadlines. Introduction to scheduling and project management resources and software.
Prerequisite(s): Completion of CONST 202 with a 2.0 or higher.
Course Outcomes
- Define, create, and diagram a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS); and shall point out how it formulates organizing a scope-of-work as justification for a construction project management plan required for project execution.
- Identify with and recognize all 16 divisions that are part of the Construction Specifications Index, CSI MasterFormat.
- Define, create, and prepare data activity sheets in support of examining scope-of-work and generating effort of duration for estimated construction activities.
- List, show, and sequence construction project work activities into logical and coherent relationships. Prepare and diagram a network diagram.
- Calculate and predict ES, EF, LS, LF dates explaining and executing the ‘forward pass’ and ‘backward pass’ technique.
- Prepare initial construction project schedules and estimated durations.
- Identify, relate to, and argue the importance and value of the critical path on a construction project. Explain accompanying float, or “slack” on a construction project and its impact.
- Describe the importance working on a planning & scheduling team and model the value of teamwork in a planning environment.
- Convert network diagram and critical path calculation exercise technique and translate into a project management scheduling software application, (i.e. MS Project or P6). Prepare and defend logic and critical path calculations.
- Identify with and explain the importance of the use of the Gantt chart (bar chart) in a construction management environment.
- Name, translate, and apply generally-accepted project management principles of planning in a construction environment.
