Microsoft Project is the best tool for scheduling projects, however, it is not without its frustrations! Happily, most problems that users face using Microsoft Project stem from a lack of knowledge of how Microsoft Project works, or just plain lack of scheduling knowledge. We resolve both issues in this course.
If the Business Case describes what will make a project successful and why it should go ahead, then the Project Schedule communicates the how, when, who and current progress of the project. Good schedules are an essential part of good project governance and control. So, as a good project manager, you need to make maximum use of your main project management tool: Microsoft Project.
The Microsoft Project Master Class takes Project users who know all the material in typical 2-day Project courses and have at least 6 months experience with using (or trying to use) either MS Project or another tool (e.g. MS Excel) (6 months is plenty of time to get into a wonderful mess and accumulate masses of questions) and answers all your questions. The course teaches:
- How to solve common scheduling problems
