In addition to covering the basic functions and
features of Project 2010 this 1-day course also touches
on concepts, features and topics usually covered only in
Advanced courses. It covers a wider range of
topics than a standard Foundation course but is still
suitable for trainees with no prior experience of
Microsoft Project. This format has proven to be very
popular with our clients since it provides trainees with
many of the skills they require in a single day.
Students will learn how to create a new project file,
create and modify task lists, create a Work Breakdown
Structure, and work with task relationships. They'll
also learn how to create a base calendar, assign
resources to tasks, create task calendars, and create
and modify tables. Students will use filters and groups,
and they'll sort task, resource data and learn how to
resolve resource conflicts. Tracking a Project will
review Entering Progress as a % Complete, Progress Using
Update Tasks and Tracking Work By Time Period. Reporting
& Printing will cover printing views, Reports, Visual
Reports, copying the Timeline for email and presentations.
