Blog: The Sixth D of Project Management: Dangers
So now we have a schedule of what’s supposed to occur – but we know things never unfold the way they’re supposed to. Things happen. Sometimes good things. Mostly bad things. Project Dangers is about how we prepare for these apparently unknowable events. One option would simply be for us to... (continue reading)

Blog: The Fifth D of Project Management: Dates
At this point we know what we have to do, who is going to do it, and the sequence in which tasks should be performed. What we don’t know is how long all this work is going to take, or when tasks can be expected to be completed. Notice that this is different from how which time is available.

Project Dates: The Fifth D of Project Management Project Dates: Chris may want his party in two weeks, but it's not until we develop our initial set of project Dates that we start to see whether the target is realistic.

Previous Student Review

"I just completed the 5-day (1 day a week for 5 weeks) PMP Exam Prep “Boot Camp” with Sal. Sal was a GREAT instructor. If you are serious about taking the PMP test, this class is a must. Key Consulting’s Kevin Archbold provided outstanding guidance to me as I was making the decision on how to move forward. The Boot Camp was jammed packed with information that provided me the tools I needed to prepare for the test. I will take the test in the next few weeks. Suggestion- take this class 4-6 weeks from the day you want to take the test. Do not let much time pass between boot camp and the test. Good luck."

Project Change Request Form

Fixed-scope predictive projects need a process by which proposed changes can be documented, analyzed, and evaluated. A change request form lies at the heart of that process.
