Project Bespoke courses

A wide range of topics from various levels can be covered in a bespoke course. Courses will be tailored to suit client needs and the instructor will adapt the course and range of topics covered to ensure trainees receive the maximum benefit possible from their training day. For example, a 1-day course can be designed and delivered to cover topics from the Intermediate and Advanced courses.

Cybersecurity

Bespoke courses can also include specalist topics such as Cybersecurity.

Using Microsoft Project, like any other software, carries certain cybersecurity risks, and this topic is an area of growing importance. Increasing numbers of our clients are asking for this topic to be covered in our training courses to ensure everyone in their organisation understands the potential risks and the steps that can be taken to protect your software, hardware, and files.

Topics include:

Vulnerabilities: Microsoft Project, like any software, may have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. It is important to keep your software up to date with the latest security patches and updates.

Enable automatic updates or regularly check for updates from Microsoft and apply them promptly.

Malware and phishing attacks

Weak passwords

Unauthorised access Data backup and recovery

Network security Secure file sharing

Cybersecurity best practices

Regular security audits

By implementing a range of measures, you can enhance the security of your Microsoft Project software, hardware, and files, reducing the risk of cyber threats and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.

Security specialists can also assist businesses with Cybersecurity. This blog from a leading security and counter-surveillance company highlights the Top 5 Cybersecurity Risks in Software and Hardware (opens in a new window)


Topics covered will vary slightly depending upon the version of Project you are using, e.g 2016, 2019 or 365.

Fast-track Project Training

Fast track Project training sessions are highly-focussed intensive training sessions delivered in short bursts to give busy people the essential skills they need in the shortest possible time.

Our fast-track Project courses are a quick way to transfer essential skills in the shortest possible time - useful for busy staff members unable to undertake comprehensive training.

Fast-track courses are suitable for a variety of purposes and can, for example, be used by busy professionals to see what's new in Project. The following is an example of topics typically covered:

What's new in Project 2016

Project 2016 has all the functionality and features you're used to, with some added enhancements and new features.
Here are some of the top new features you'll find in Project 2016:
More flexible timelines
With Project 2016, not only can you leverage multiple timelines to illustrate different phases or categories of work, but you can also set the start and end dates for each timeline separately, to paint a clearer overall picture of the work involved.

Better control over resource scheduling
Some resources have limited availability, and may have their time scheduled by a resource manager. With Project Professional 2016 and Project Online, project managers and resource managers can negotiate an agreement, called a resource engagement, to make sure that resources are being used appropriately and effectively throughout your organization.
Important   Resource engagements only work if you're using Project Professional 2016 or Project Pro for Office 365, connected to Project Online. If you are not connected to Project Online, the resource engagements functionality will be hidden from view. Project Standard 2016 does not include resource engagements.
How does it work? When a resource manager sets up the enterprise resource pool in Project Online, he or she can identify some resources as requiring approval to be assigned to projects.
When a project manager decides to use one of these resources on a project, he or she submits an engagement request with the date range for when the resource is needed, and either a certain percentage of that resource's time during that date range, or a set number of hours during that date range.

The resource manager reviews this request, and can accept it, suggest changes, or reject it. The project manager refreshes the engagement status in the new Resource Plan view in Project Professional 2016 to see the resource manager's response.

Do things quickly with Tell Me
You'll notice a text box on the ribbon in Project 2016 that says Tell me what you want to do. This is a text field where you can enter words and phrases related to what you want to do next and quickly get to features you want to use or actions you want to perform. You can also choose to get help related to what you're looking for.

New themes for Project
There are now three Office themes that you can apply to Project 2016: Colorful, Dark Gray, and White. To access these themes, go to File > Options > General, and then click the drop down menu next to Office Theme.
