Project Management with MS Project – BEGINNER TO EXPERT
Introduction:
This course is planned to have a gradual structure from basic features to more advanced ones; this structure will help you to understand every detail of the program. Therefore, you don’t need to know anything about Microsoft Project or Project Management.
If you are already familiar with Microsoft Project, you can benefit from the more advanced lectures in the course. For those who are familiar with Microsoft Project, the first few lectures might be basic. Yet, I recommend you to attend these lectures to refresh your memory. You may find some details that you have missed.
By enrolling in this course, you will be able to:
• Create your project plans in MS Project 2013, 2016, and 2019 STEP-BY-STEP
• Learn how to create a project plan through a real-world project example
• Get prompt answers & support from the instructor
• Learn what you should have before creating your project plan in MS Project.
• We will create a realistic project plan from beginning to end. While creating the project plan, we will also talk about scenarios that you may face in real life.
At the end of the course, we will have a bonus section about Earned Value Analysis. Doing Earned Value Calculations in Microsoft Project is very easy, but understanding the meaning of the numbers we get from these calculations is very important. If you don’t know anything about Earned Value Analysis, after this course, you will learn every concept in detail.
