Description
About the Course
As a project manager, your job is to minimize risk on a project by participating in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the project schedule, budget and quality control. The schedule is a key tool used to communicate to all stakeholders on the project and create both big and small snapshots of actual and planned progress. Join this interactive class to review, discuss and demonstrate MS project and best practices of construction project scheduling.
Many companies are turning to MS Project and many have been self-taught to use the software. This class goes into an intermediate level of using MS Project beyond the basics, reviewing the tracking, updating, resource planning and cost functions of the program. The course uses a sample project and interactive exercises to demonstrate the functions of MS Project.
Who should attend: This course is for users of MS Project who have not had formal training in the program and want to expand their knowledge beyond the basics.
Learner Take-aways:
- Outline Project Manager responsibilities related to scheduling
- Manipulate a project schedule to show progress
- Apply scheduling, resource planning and cost control to MS Project
- Practice resource planning, merging projects and reporting
