Tame Microsoft Project! is not your typical one-day Microsoft Project course. It contains all the features you need to develop and manage a schedule – but only those features. This course makes Project easy to use by focusing on the features you need and hiding the features that make Project so frustrating. How do we do this?
• Using a Project template that is pre-configured to the simplest settings.
• Adding two new tabs to the Ribbon. One tab has a step-by-step process for planning the project. The second tab simplifies managing your schedule and creating reports.
• Integrating project management tips into the course manual that explain the theory behind Microsoft Project’s features.
This one-day instructor-led course is intended for Microsoft Project users that need to manage a schedule but will NOT be managing cost within Project. By focusing only on the SCHEDULING capabilities of Project, this course dramatically simplifies this powerful application, thus the name: Tame Microsoft Project!
In addition to the student manual, this course uses a Project Template (.mpp) and additional tabs to the Ribbon, both of which simplify the interface for the user.
