Microsoft Project


Microsoft Project is a project management software program which assists project managers or a project team developing plans, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing budgets and analysing workloads. It also is also possible to easily show risks or issues within a task or project. This program has a few bugs and analogical processes but with PCS’ experienced expert trainers, a difficult process can become very simple and easy to understand. There are many simple wizards with Project that can actually create some bad practices if not shown all the pit-falls. Using this program correctly will make planning a project feel like using a crystal ball to forecast future tasks or plans.

Microsoft Project Introduction: Working with Microsoft Project


    Course Code: ITP01-2 | Duration: 1 Day | Level: Introduction

    The course starts with an overview of the whole program explaining why it can be used as a Project Management tool. If a project is going to be set up and used as a tool for planning and tracking, then the rules have to be set up correctly. This course will provide a plan using a Gantt chart by creating Calendars to show how tasks can be linked to each other. Once a Project has been created properly, the next step will be how to track and report its progress. A majority of the course will be focussed using the Gantt Chart View, however other views will be introduced i.e. Task Sheet, Network Chart, Resources Sheet Tracking Gantt.
