The Complete Planning Course
Humanity has been planning since the pyramids. The method has not changed. What has changed is how rarely anyone actually teaches it, instead of just handing you software and hoping for the best.

This knowledge has been locked behind corporate training budgets for too long.
I have worked on every continent. I have watched brilliant engineers destroy good projects because nobody ever taught them the fundamentals. Not the software. The thinking. I have taken calls from Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East. People who needed this and could never afford the $2,000 corporate course. So I am giving it away. Not free because free is not valued. $99. The price of your commitment to learning it.
Why this exists
It starts with a BBQ.
Before you buy the meat. Before you light the fire. One question determines everything, how many people are we inviting? That is your Scope of Work. That is where every project on earth begins. From the BBQ to the billion-dollar pipeline the thinking is the same. Only the zeros change.
"Planning techniques are like ice skating. The Project Controls team must be skilled enough to do a basic routine. But only excellence achieves the gold medal."
Every skater knows the fundamentals. The spins. The footwork. The routine. Without them you cannot compete. But the ones who win understood it deeply enough to go beyond it.
This is what working knowledge means. Not just knowing how to use software. Understanding how to assemble a schedule that reflects reality. How to align a team around what was agreed. How to deliver the execution the way it was promised at the beginning.
The tools change. The software evolves. But the discipline of planning has not changed since the pyramids were built on different continents by different cultures who never knew each other. Learn the discipline. The rest follows.
The tool of the profession
Activities. Logic. Critical path. Baseline. The Gantt chart is not a picture. It is a contract between the plan and reality. This course teaches you to build it, read it, and defend it in Primavera P6, the global standard for large-scale EPCM projects.

The instructor
Ramon Granados
BSc Civil & Environmental Engineering · PMP
Where missing a deadline cost millions. Where getting it right meant thousands of people had jobs.
I started in Venezuela. I worked through South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the former Soviet states, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Projects worth hundreds of millions. Projects worth billions. Every single one taught me the same thing.
The plan is not the schedule file. The plan is the thinking. And the thinking is something any human being can learn.
I am putting everything I know into this course. Not a sanitized version. The real thing. For $99 because the world needs more people who know how to plan.
