ABC Company has 50,000 employees at it headquarters. The company wants to increase employee productivity by setting up internal software application training program for it employees. The training program will teach employees how to use Microsoft software programs such us Vista, Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007, Access 2007 and project 2007. Courses will be offered in the evenings and on Saturdays and will be taught by qualified volunteer employees. Instructors will be paid $40 per hours. In the past, various departments sent employees to courses offered by local vendors during company time. In contrast to local vendors’ programs, this internal training program should save the company money on training as well as make its people more productive. The Human Resource Department will manage the program and any employee can take the course. Employees will receive a certificate and will be put in their personal records. The company has decided to use off the shelf training materials, but is not sure which vendor material to use. The company needs to setup training classrooms, survey employees on what courses they want to take, find qualified volunteer instructors, and start offering the courses. The company wants to offer the first course within six months. One person from human resources is assigned full time to manage this project, and top management has pledge to support the project.

2. Project Time Management
a. Enter realistic durations for each task and then link appropriate tasks. Be sure that all tasks are linked in some fasion to the start and end of the project. Use the Project Tracking Database as an example. Assume that you have six months to complete the entire project.
b. Print the Gantt Chart view and Network Diagramview for the project.
c. Print the Schedule table to see key dates and slack times for each task.

To answer your question about project time management and creating a schedule for the training program, we can follow a step-by-step approach:

Step 1: Identify the tasks involved in setting up the training program. Based on the information provided, some key tasks can be:
- Determine training materials vendor
- Set up training classrooms
- Survey employees on desired courses
- Find qualified volunteer instructors
- Develop course schedule
- Conduct employee registration
- Start offering courses

Step 2: Estimate realistic durations for each task. Since you have six months to complete the project, allocate appropriate durations for each task based on the complexity and effort required.

For example:
- Determine training materials vendor: 2 weeks
- Set up training classrooms: 3 weeks
- Survey employees on desired courses: 1 week
- Find qualified volunteer instructors: 2 weeks
- Develop course schedule: 2 weeks
- Conduct employee registration: 2 weeks
- Start offering courses: 1 week

Step 3: Link the tasks appropriately. In project management, tasks are linked to show dependencies and relationships. You can use a software tool like Microsoft Project to create a Gantt chart and network diagram that will automatically link the tasks based on their dependencies.

Step 4: Print the Gantt Chart view and Network Diagram view. Once you have created the schedule in a project management tool, you can generate these views to visualize the timeline and relationships between tasks. The Gantt Chart view shows the timeline and durations of each task, while the Network Diagram view displays the tasks and their connections.

Step 5: Print the Schedule table. This table provides key dates and slack times for each task. It helps to identify critical tasks that must be completed within specific timeframes and tasks that have flexibility in their scheduling.

Remember that these steps can be executed using project management software like Microsoft Project, which will allow you to input task durations, link tasks, and generate the desired views and tables.

By following these steps, you will be able to create a comprehensive schedule for the training program, visualize it through Gantt chart and network diagram views, and obtain key dates and slack times through the schedule table.
