Your schedules are spread across separate files and you are losing the overview. In this course you build a single central project environment in which your team can follow along, contribute and track progress through clear dashboards.
Description
You work in the Project Web App from the outset. You set up enterprise calendars, create a central resource pool and define roles and permissions. You then build a project structure with phases, tasks, milestones and dependencies, review the critical path and record a baseline.
On day two you connect your project data to Power BI. You create a first report with filters and slicers for utilisation per role, progress per phase and tasks at risk. You link projects to Teams and the associated SharePoint site, so that planning, documents and updates all come together in one place.
You practise with your own case or a recognisable practical example. At the end you step into your own project environment with confidence.

Result
After this course you can independently set up a project environment with calendars, roles and permissions. You build a clear structure with phases, tasks, relationships and milestones, including a baseline. You manage resources centrally and keep track of availability and deployment. In Power BI you have a starter dashboard showing planning, capacity and progress. Your team works in a single environment via a video meeting and SharePoint, with clear agreements on access. You spot bottlenecks such as a shifting critical path or overload at an early stage and can adjust in good time.
Target audience
The course is intended for project managers, planners, PMO staff and administrators who work on a project basis and want to use MS Project Online in practice. Experience with Project is not required. A basic knowledge of working on a project basis will help you get started.
Teaching method
A short explanation, then straight into practice. You test your choices in your own environment or in a practice case. There is room for questions, and you are given steps that you can easily follow again later. You work with your own project or a recognisable practical example.
Prior knowledge
No experience with MS Project is required. Basic knowledge of project-based working and Microsoft 365 is useful.

This is a classroom-based MS Project Online course
In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
Language
The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.
