Do you want to know how the professional project managers use MSproject for scheduling?

Are you a beginner and want to learn to schedule with MSProject 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 MSProject 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 Ihave 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 / MSProject 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.

There are 3 main chapters to this course:

In the introduction, Iwalk you through the software.

• First very briefly then

• In more detail where I show you the main functionalities.

Part 1 will show you

• The main functionality

• How to build a schedule in 6 steps

• Practice activity for each concept.

In Part 2 we will

• Review some more advanced concepts.

• Do a practice activity for this Part.

Finally in the conclusion Iwill explain some other functionalities that are never used.

Have fun!
