Who it's for: Microsoft Project is professional level software made for project managers, resource managers, team leads, and anyone who is given the task of planning and running a project that is too big for “I’ll just knock it out.”
What it is: Project is a structure-based project planning, running, and tracking software tool. It’s also the most popular project management tool. Microsoft Project students will learn how to plan projects of any scope, small to large.
What you'll learn: Start from the ground level and learn how to build a phase-based work breakdown structure, apply durations, constraints, resources, and track a project while it runs. Next, jump into advanced topics like executing a project; updating task progress, cost and work deliverables with SharePoint; monitoring project process using custom fields and network diagrams; and producing professional, results-driven reports by building custom reports and visuals. Participants will also learn how to customize the application for their specific needs using Options settings, creating and sharing templates, and linking projects.
