Course Overview

The PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) certification by PMI is designed for project management practitioners who specialize in developing, maintaining, and analyzing project schedules. This course prepares candidates for the PMI-SP certification exam, validating advanced expertise in scheduling methodologies, risk analysis, and timeline optimization. Ideal for project schedulers, project controls specialists, and project managers with a focus on scheduling, this certification addresses a growing industry demand for precision in project delivery.

This course covers key scheduling tools and techniques emphasized in the PMI-SP exam content outline, including Microsoft® Project, Primavera P6, and other industry-standard scheduling software. Participants engage in hands-on lab exercises using real-world scheduling scenarios, building comprehensive project schedules from work breakdown structures (WBS) to resource-constrained models. Using the PMI Practice Standard for Scheduling and PMBOK® Guide as foundational references, students configure performance measurement baselines (PMB), conduct Monte Carlo simulations for risk analysis, and perform schedule variance tracking. The lab environment integrates tools like Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), culminating in a capstone project where learners develop and defend an integrated master schedule aligned with contractual milestones.
