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: 

  • how generative construction scheduling works and how it differs from the traditional cpm scheduling method
  • how to set up a simple project in alice
  • how to leverage alice to enable “optioneering” on a project
