Course Description

This unique class is designed specifically for people who use Microsoft Project to manage a schedule, but NOT to manage cost or for resource utilization analysis. If that sounds like you, then you can ignore two-thirds of Project's capability. But do you know which two thirds? This workshop uses a Microsoft Project Template and Ribbon that hide the features you don't need. This class provides clear guidelines that make it simpler to build and maintain a schedule in Project.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the discipline of project management as it applies to using Project.

  • Leverage a custom Ribbon to navigate the application

  • Create and enter a useful list of tasks (a Work Breakdown Structure)

  • Quickly create a project schedule

  • Establish Task Relationships to visualize which tasks must precede others

  • Assign people to project tasks

  • Assign duration estimates to tasks

  • Capture the original schedule as a baseline

  • Easily update the actual start and actual finish of tasks to track schedule progress

  • Track the percent complete of tasks

  • Generate a high-level project timeline for reporting to management
