Who should attend?
This course has been designed for delegates who are new to Microsoft Project
2003. Existing users of Microsoft Project would benefit from this course
if they consider that they need to increase their existing knowledge.
No previous experience of either project management or the software is
assumed. You do not have to be a Windows expert but you must feel comfortable
working in the Windows environment. Delegates who do not have hands on
experience of the Windows environment will have great difficulty due to
the interactive nature of the course.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course the delegates will be able to:
• Create a new project, entering task
• Resource and cost information
• Analyse and adjust schedules with various constraints
• Customise and print Gantt Chart views and reports
• Customise and print charts and reports
Training style
Informal and participative using a combination of trainer input, discussion
and practical exercises. This approach ensures the training meets the
needs of both the group and individual participants.
