Yes. By actually understanding and applying the terms and terminology that I have learnt through this course, it gives more clarity and confidence to be unambiguous in my writing.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how comfortable were you with reading basic schedule information* before the course and by the end of the course?
7 before and 10 by the end.* Schedule information refers to plans drawn up in project scheduling software such as Microsoft Project, using the Critical Path Method (employing a network diagram), and Gantt charts.

I have tried to incorporate the Rule for Risk in my daily activities and it has helped me to assess and mitigate any further risks that come up and have helped me to deal with it as required.
