...Microsoft Project

This one-day course is for people who have some experience of project planning and using planning software. Like a good bikini, it covers the bare essentials and excites the imagination. As much practical work as possible is crammed into the day after learning Microsoft Project basic operations. 

This course is a high-intensity kick-start for busy planners and, because of time constraints, it distils what you need to know to start managing projects and leaves out the non-essential frills. You are encouraged to bring your own plan to use on the course.

What you'll learn and do:

  • How to manage a project - understanding the critical path and how Microsoft Project works 
  • Build a practical plan
  • Structure your plan (summary tasks and milestones)
  • The best way to define and assign resources
  • Analyse and adjust resource usage and costs
  • What makes a comprehensible report
  • Not to be afraid of resource levelling
  • Using filters, tables and views
  • Finding and correcting mistakes
  • Saving a baseline and tracking progress
  • Re-scheduling incomplete tasks
  • Good practices: techniques to save time and effort
