Course Overview

Are you pursuing the PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)® certification? You understand that project scheduling is more than just employing tools and technology to create schedules. Schedules are the backbone of project management, yet astonishingly, 50% of projects fail to meet their initially scheduled deadlines, as revealed in our 2015 Pulse of the Profession® report.

The PMI-SP certification recognises your expertise in driving enhanced project schedule management.
