Microsoft Project

Learn how to set up your project, enter tasks and assign resources (people, equipment, materials) to them. Enter costs and track your project as the work is undertaken. Manipulate and display calculated data in various views to analyze the planning and progress in order to successfully make decisions vital to your project. Communicate your progress and provide feedback to those with a stake in the project.

• One day will allow you to set up your project and look at the basics of tracking.
• A two day Microsoft Project training course can take the total beginner beyond tracking to producing reports and analysing progress; a level where you can easily run your own project through to completion,
