MS Project 2010 - for the real world,

MS Project 2010

Scheduling tools can be a great aid in understanding very complex projects and keeping control over them but they can be a bit overwhelming. They have many features and functions that make life easy to control a project. This course teaches MS Project 2010 in a way that someone would need to perform the work efforts to build a schedule, manage a schedule, and report against a schedule.

The course is focused on learning the tool in a hands on workshop but it will also cover core project management concepts and integrate them into the tools use.

The following job aids will be provided:

• MS Project 2010 Ribbons Guide

• MS Project 2010 – Process Checklist – Build, Manage, Report

• Student Guide – Provides course materials and screen shot navigation through the

lessons tied to the process checklist

To make a student capable of building, managing, and reporting a deliverables based plan using MS Project 2010

Following this session attendee’s will be able to:

• Efficiently navigate MS Project 2010

• Correctly setup a project using a defined setup process

• Effectively use project calendars and views

• Create a deliverables based schedule for a project

• Create a project baseline that establishes a controlled schedule

• Analyze a schedule variance

• Make changes in a project schedule without causing strange things to happen

• Use the core reporting features to update the project team and sponsors on the status

of a project

• Use the schedule as the “one source of truth” for their project

Employing these new skills will result in:

• Greater control over the schedule of a project

• More efficient use of planning and project execution time

• The ability to use MS Project as a repository for most important project information

allowing the student to perform “what if” analysis on their project

• A single source of project information that is easier to maintain

The course requires the following preparation:

• MS Project 2010 installed on a laptop

• Experience in project planning and execution

The course outline is as follows:
