Effective Construction Management with Microsoft Project Professional is a training series designed for construction project managers, superintendents, and executives who need greater visibility and control over project schedules and data. Level I focuses on tracking project progress, customizing fields, tables, and views, and managing project information through imports, exports, and linked files. Level II builds on these skills by introducing shared resource pools and master/sub-project workflows, enabling participants to prevent over-allocation, balance workloads, and coordinate multiple projects efficiently. Together, these courses provide practical tools for managing complex construction schedules and making informed, data-driven project decisions using Microsoft Project Professional.
This live online series offers 2 four-hour courses. You can take both courses or just the one that meets your needs. Each separate course is delivered in 2 two-hour sessions. A live instructor explains the detailed functions and addresses questions as the class progresses.
