Software Overview

A review of the software to give delegates an overall view of the structure of Microsoft Project 2003.

Calendars

A review of both Project and Resource Calendars shows how to maximise resource availability within your projects.

Delegates who have never been on a project management theory course or are new to project management will be taken through the concepts and terminology phases of the course slowly to enable them to gain the maximum benefit from the course.

Following the course delegates will be able to produce high quality resource driven project plans and will have a very clear understanding of the concepts of project management.

Create a Timeline Project

A basic project plan is produced showing how to prepare a detailed sequence of events. This initial project will reinforce the topics covered in the Terminology part of the course.

Resources

The key to using Microsoft Project 2003 to its full potential is understanding the relationship between resources and work. Resources are introduced to the case study project and a detailed investigation is then made reviewing how these resources impact the project plan.

Create a Resource Driven Project

Delegates will now produce a project plan driven by the availability of the resources and the estimated work required.

Management

Knowledge of Microsoft Project or other project management software is not required.
