You know the basics of MS Project, but it offers far more than you currently use. In this follow-up course you will get to grips with the advanced features: from resource pools and custom reports to macros and sub-projects. That way you get everything out of MS Project.
Description
You already work with MS Project and have a firm grasp of the basics: planning tasks, assigning resources, tracking costs and reporting all come easily to you. Even so, you feel there is more to be gained. In this follow-up course you will delve into the advanced possibilities of MS Project and learn to set up your work more cleverly and more quickly.
After a brief refresher of the basics, you will work step by step through functionality such as configuring options optimally, working with multiple calendars, building a Work Breakdown Structure and managing dependencies. You will work with filters, groups and flags, with formulas, lookup lists and graphical indicators, and with multiple timelines in a single project view.
Adjusting the Gantt view, working with a resource pool and resource management are also covered. You take a closer look at standard reports and your own report designs, export visual reports to Excel and Visio, and are introduced to macros and working with sub-projects.
The course is classroom-based and taught in small groups, so the trainer can respond to your situation. You are welcome to bring your own practical example, which makes it even more concrete.

Target audience

The trainer adapts the pace and content to your starting level and learning objectives, so that you focus on what is relevant to you.
Theory and practice alternate throughout. You practise straight away with assignments in MS Project, so you apply what you have learnt immediately. Are you running into a particular issue in your own work? Feel free to bring it to the course and work on it together with the trainer.
