Who should do this course?
Microsoft Project 2007 is aimed towards project management, which is the art of aligning resources and schedules to accomplish all of the various tasks that comprise a project.
Microsoft Project 2007 has a specific focus. This program is designed as a tracking and planning tool for large (or small) endeavours that involve sub tasks, multiple resources, and various scheduling goals and priorities. This does not mean that Project lacks versatility.
In our Microsoft Project 2007 Training Course we can help train you to use Project 2007 to help plan and organize anything from a software development process, to a major construction job, to the expansion of a company.
Let’s say you’re the head writer for the Acme Widget Company. You have to prepare the company’s annual report, which has a big budget, requires co-operation from many departments, and is going to take about six months to plan. You can use Project to manage all the tasks that must be performed to make sure they are assigned, completed, and stay on budget. You can also use Project to generate reports and calendars for others, to demonstrate the current level of progress, and to provide informative projections as to the completion of the project’s stages.
There are a number of good reasons to use Project 2007. For one, you will probably find its interface very familiar. The menus, toolbars, and general interface structure follow the familiar design concepts seen in many other popular Microsoft applications.
Another reason is that it is designed specifically for project management. Whether you’re undertaking a two-week project or a major company reorganization that will take years, you will find all the resources that you need within Project 2007.
Having all these resources in one place will also help you stay organized. This is especially important in a long-term project; if someone else has to take over project management, they will appreciate being handed a single file with all the information, rather than multiple file folders full of disorganized paper. Managing the project digitally also makes it easy to back the project up, assign tasks to other people, and print reports.
Finally, very few major projects come to completion without a hitch. The larger your project is, the more variables you will have to account for. A dynamic management tool like Project makes it easier to readjust if problems arise, like the unforeseen loss of a resource, or a scheduling delay due to factors beyond your control.
Duration:
Total duration of the course is approximately 10 hours on average.
