FastTrack Microsoft Project

This popular one-day course distills the bare essentials of the two-day courses above. It's best for a smaller group (up to four) who have some experience of project management tools, theory and practice because it crams a lot into one day.

 

Managing Resources with Microsoft Project 

A one-day practical course, designed for the experienced planner or manager who needs to make the most of Microsoft Project's resource management and analysis features. Get on top of resource levelling, understand resource assignments, calendars, task types, use generic and individually-named resources and manage costs. Use the different reports to communicate the right information. This day works best when you supply a list of topics and specific questions.

 

Managing Multiple Projects with Microsoft Project

A one-day course for the experienced project manager with lots of projects or who is setting up or running the project support office. This is not easy so learn the shortcuts and save yourself a lot of time and effort. Consolidate projects using different methods, share resources, use resource pools and analyse results to give you the reports you need. This course can be tailored to meet your needs and involve your own projects, if you wish. You don't need to spend a fortune on expensive multi-user software. This course also helps you to work out your own project office procedures and support systems: templates, calendars, sharing resources and reports with others.
