This advanced planning course covers capacity planning, scope-change modeling, and earned-value fundamentals, enabling you to identify resource risks and quantify schedule and cost performance. Instructions include building integrated hybrid plans (predictive + iterative), modeling critical-path impacts of scope adjustments using small-sample scenarios, and performing capacity analysis to detect over-allocation. You will compute core EVM metrics (PV, EV, and AC) and derive CPI/SPI for focused slices of work, and then craft concise remediation recommendations (re-sequencing, reallocation, or scope negotiation). Deliverables are deliberately compact—resource heatmap, EVM sheet for a subset of tasks, scope impact notes, and a short remediation rationale—so that you can demonstrate analytical reasoning and clear stakeholder communication.
