• PROJECT PLANNING, SCHEDULING AND CONTROL

  Course overview

  ---

  Microsoft® Project 2016 is a powerful project management tool that can be used to help build project plans; track work completed and identify variances from project baselines. However, we usually find that professionals who understand the theory and concepts of project planning, scheduling and control are often frustrated by the difficulty of applying them to Microsoft® Project.

  This 3-day training programme is designed for professionals who desire to bridge the gap between theory and the practical use of MS Project. It covers all aspects of Project Planning and Scheduling using MS Project and gives emphasis on the tools and techniques relating to project planning, tracking and reporting features. Using case studies and hands-on techniques, participants learn how the software works “under the covers.” Participants learn how to create custom Views (including Gantt Charts), Tables, Filters, Groups and Reports that facilitate data entry and enhance report generation and presentation capabilities.
