the planning strategy, prepare the execution plan, define Work Breakdown Structure, Identify
the project activities, prepare the network diagram, Estimate resources to complete the
activities, estimate the duration of activities, develop the schedule, develop the project cash
flow, monitoring and controlling of the project, perform the delay analysis, perform the what
is analysis, generate the reports and dashboards of project by using MS Project tool.

How the evaluation done?

Before the course begins, the participants will evaluate himself/herself against the skills sets
required to become the planning engineer. There will be continuous assessment through
