The Define and Sequence Activities (PMI - PMP) is course 9 of 28 of the Project Management Professional Certification Program (PMI-PMP). The course is aligned with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK6) developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
It's time to talk schedule. After all, what project can run without a proper schedule, right? This course covers two key activities that you need to do when creating a schedule.
Schedule management for a project does not happen in isolation. It occurs within the context of other project process groups. To manage projects more effectively, it helps to know how schedule management processes fit into the project context.
The first is to identify the activities that will need to take place during the project. And the second is putting all those activities into a logical sequence that helps you create a schedule network diagram, which is the foundation of your schedule.
