Fundamentals of Planning & Scheduling is a beginner-level course designed to introduce construction professionals to the basic concepts, methods, and thinking behind effective project planning and scheduling, based on PMBOK® principles and Philippine construction practice.

The course focuses on understanding before software, covering planning fundamentals, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) development, and an overview of common scheduling methods such as Gantt charts, Critical Path Method (CPM), and PERT. Participants will apply these concepts through a hands-on workshop to create a simple Gantt schedule using Microsoft Excel.

This course serves as the pre-requisite for advanced scheduling courses such as Primavera P6, MS Project, Excel Scheduling, and Networking/CPM.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the role of planning and scheduling in construction project success.
  • Understand the PMBOK® planning and scheduling concepts applicable to infrastructure projects.
  • Develop a clear and structured Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for a construction project.
  • Break down work packages into logical and manageable activities.
  • Describe the different scheduling methods (Gantt, CPM, PERT, milestone schedules) and identify when to use each.
  • Understand basic activity sequencing, duration estimation, and milestone planning
  • Read and interpret basic construction schedules and progress information.
  • Create a simple Gantt schedule in Microsoft Excel for planning and monitoring purposes.
  • Prepare confidently for advanced scheduling tools and courses such as Primavera P6, MS Project, Project Libre and Excel-based scheduling.
