Do you want to know how the professional project managers use MS project for scheduling?
Are you a beginner and want to learn to schedule with MS Project the way professionals do it without going through the soporific details of functions that are never used?
Hi all – In my 20 years as Project Manager I have successfully implemented projects for HP and IBM (amongst others) and if you follow this course you will know MS Project as much as I (and most Project Managers) do.
That’s all there is to it but it can be very powerful if used properly.
Overview
This course will show you how to create a schedule in Microsoft Project like pros do.
The course focuses on the most important functionality that is used in real life, on real projects. In my 20+ years as Project Manager I have only used the functions outlined in this course.
Project Managers simply do not have time to build complex projects schedules. Schedules need to be
-
easy to maintain / fast to update
-
easy to share / easy to understand
For this reason Project Managers only use a few (but powerful) components of the Microsoft Project / MS Project functionality.
This course focuses on what knowledge is required to build a solid and usable schedule. The type of schedule project managers needs, for him/her but also to present a clear timeline to peers and Management.
