With a project schedule, it is important not to overlook or skip any steps. As the project progresses, it keeps internal and external decision-makers, customers and management informed of all project phases. It includes information about actions, people, due dates, priorities and status.

An Excel schedule helps you to break down large project goals into smaller, achievable steps. It also defines who has to do what and by when. It helps to set expectations and increase the transparency of the individual completion steps. With time planning, you are always up to date with the scope of delivery and deadlines for projects - even with larger project teams and a large scope of work.

The advantage of an Excel schedule is:

• Scope and complexity freely definable
• The timeline illustrates the progress of the project - with colors to see at a glance where there are problems
• The focus of the statements can be set independently
• The numbers themselves are calculated using formulas
• You can combine data from different sources
• Almost everyone has the program

For example, the following scheduling methods are available:

• Analysis of work behavior and activities
• Goal and prioritization
• Delegation
• Working methods for solution-oriented and structured work
• Learning techniques, learning types
• Dealing with the flood of information
• Planning and problem-solving techniques
• Time management and personal performance curve
• Stress management
• Decision-making and creativity techniques

The seminar on work techniques and time management teaches practical methods for optimizing your own working methods and managing time effectively. The aim is to better structure individual work processes, set realistic goals and make everyday life more efficient.

The focus is on the following contents:

• Analysis of your own working technique: reflect on and optimize existing habits
• Methods of work organization: structured approaches to tasks and projects
• Use of planning instruments: Tools and techniques for effective time planning

A project schedule should answer the following questions:

• Why are we tackling this project?

• Which delivery items and targets are the most important?
• Who is involved in the project and what is the person responsible for?
• When should the project start and end?

The purpose of a schedule (Excel, Outlook etc.) is:

• Improved communication (information for decision-makers, clear indication of expectations, recognition of status)
• More transparency (clarity about next steps and timeline, priorities and goals)
• Better organization (tasks, dependencies, milestones, activities and time requirements)
