For effective waterfall and agile integrated project, program, and portfolio management it is critical to have the right tool. Spider Project enables Innovative Scheduling by: Activity Modelling; Resource Modelling; Network Modelling and Analysis; Cost Management Options (Corporate Reference Books, Typical Fragment Library, Risk Simulation); Performance Management; Portfolio Management; Reporting & Effective Usability.  

If you’d like to learn Spider Project and be able to apply all of the advantages it brings to enable powerful planning and delivery, then this class is for you!  

Overview

Most project management tools and methodologies focus on activities, dates, and reporting progress. However, project success is ultimately determined by the availability and effective utilisation of resources, the management of uncertainty, and the ability to make informed decisions before problems become visible.

Spider Project Introduction introduces participants to a different way of thinking about project planning and control. Based on the principles of resource-constrained scheduling, Resource Critical Path, project optimisation, and Success Driven Project Management (SDPM), the course provides practical insights into how to create and manage realistic project schedules using Spider Project.

Participants will gain an understanding of the basic concepts that underpin Spider Project and learn how these concepts can be applied to improve planning, forecasting, and decision-making across projects, programs, and portfolios.
