an Effective Schedule workshop A
practical workshop focused on
the importance of
implementing effective schedule planing and control techniques in a
structured way that directly involves the project stakeholders.
Mosaic's Five-Step process is designed to build and maintain a positive
stakeholder consensus and uses the power of pro-active scheduling to
build and foster a strong team commitment. The 5-STEP processes are
consistent with the PMBOK and focus on the PMI Practice Standard for Scheduling.

Examination Specification
- Through
a global research study of the role of a project scheduling
professional, known as a role delineation study, PMI has developed the
PMI-PS examination specification. The test content reflects the
knowledge
and skills that individuals holding the credential are expected to be
able to demonstrate. All the questions and answers on the examination
have been written and
extensively reviewed by qualified project scheduling professionals and
tracked to at least one project scheduling management reference. These
questions are then
mapped against the examination specification to ensure that an
appropriate number of questions are included for a valid examination.
- Whilst The Credential for Project
Scheduling Examination Specification and The Practice Standard for
Scheduling are related, it is important to note that the
individuals involved in developing the 'Examination Specification' were
not bound
by The Practice Standard
for Scheduling. They were charged with defining the role
of individuals who manage project scheduling, and used their experience
and pertinent resources to help in this task. Many of the performance
domains’ tasks, knowledge, and skills outlined by The Credential for Project
Scheduling Examination Specification are also covered by The Practice Standard for
Scheduling; however, it is important to note that there is
not intended to be a one-to-one relationship. Mosaic's course
development will include both the 'Examination Specification' and The Practice Standard for
Scheduling among its references, as well as other
contemporary resources on project scheduling management.
- The
PMI-SP credential examination is comprised of 170 multiple-choice
questions. Of the 170 questions, 20 are considered pretest questions.
Pretest questions do not affect the score and are used in examinations
as an effective and legitimate way to test the validity of future
examination questions. All questions are randomly placed throughout the
examination. The time allowed for the examination is 3.5Hrs.
The percentage of questions contained in each project
scheduling
domain are:
