Course Description
Time management is the process of planning and controlling how much time to spend on specific activities. Good time management enables an individual to complete the project on time. In this training course, you will learn to build a schedule network diagram, which is a visual sequence of how your tasks interrelate. Network diagramming technique used to predict total project duration. Prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. Setting time constraints for completing tasks helps you be more focused and efficient.
