About the Course
Learn a new way to schedule using ALICE Technologies. ALICE is the world's first construction optioneering platform that helps General Contractors to easily create, explore, and update construction schedules that reduce risk while cutting construction costs and build time. This course will teach you how to use this tool alongside Primavera P6.
Michael Lepage provides a step-by-step overview of:
Course Outline
Get started with a short 2-minute video that introduces you to the course content and what you can expect. Michael then dives deeper into the key differences between CPM scheduling tools and ALICE, an AI-powered generative scheduling platform, enhancing your understanding. Finally, you will learn how to set up a project in ALICE, including explanations on how to do so.
