Managing Your Project With MS Project™

Unleash the power of your most under-utilised project management asset

Do your project managers have MS Project™ installed on their laptops?

Are they using it to plan, track and report their projects, efficiently and professionally? Or is it just an expensive way to create an out-of-date Gantt chart?

There is no doubt that MS Project™ is the de-facto standard desktop tool for planning and managing projects. But like most desktop applications, the majority of people only use a fraction of it’s capabilities; that’s a wasted opportunity as there is a lot more hidden under the surface.

In the right hands, MS Project™ can be a cost effective tool that will help your project managers to

• Define the scope of your project with a work breakdown structure (WBS)
• Follow project management best practice
• Comply with your company document management policies
• Define dependencies and project duration
• Assign resources and analyse impact
• Manage overtime allocation, sub-contract costs and delays
• Track achievement, cost and resources against plan
• Report variances and Earned Value with built-in reports or MS Office™ applications

This class is not just a ‘how-to’ exercise but places MS Project™ in a practical project management context. It combines real life experience of ICT projects with proficient technical skills and support for the inexperienced and confused!
