    A schedule is only useful if it reflects the real logic of the work and is updated honestly. Many programmes look complete but have missing links, wrong calendars or constraints that hide delays.

    This masterclass teaches scheduling from first principles through to progress updates, delay analysis and earned value, using Primavera P6 and CM PRO's planning tools.

    • Planning engineers
