1-Day Microsoft Project Comprehensive Course

Our MS Project Comprehensive Training Course is suited to a user who wants to learn the power of Microsoft Project. There are no prerequisites for the training. We build a program from scratch and show you the workings. You will see how Microsoft Project is put together and how it is best used/applied in the workplace.

An overview of how Microsoft Project is structured and organised. This will greatly improve ability to understand the various areas in the software and how the areas relate to each other; increase fluency and confidence with the software.

Follow the logical and effective approach to developing the project program. We have designed a project schedule that includes Scoping (Tasks) and Resourcing of a real life project. This is designed to capture all the various aspects you may face whilst developing your own programme schedules.

Estimate the cost of the project. Prepare a project cashflow. Understand the cumulative cost of the project and spend rate.

The aim is to demonstrate the approach to Scoping / Resourcing / Costing your project

  • Assign work and materials to the project to develop a fully resourced schedule. This will outline the manning and material requirements of the project.
  • Learn how to manage your resources optimally.
  • Identify exactly where resources are over-allocated and how to resolve resource allocation issues.

  • Estimate the cost of the project.
  • Prepare a project cashflow.

You’ll understand the true meaning of Critical Path, how to find it, and how to use it to better manage your project.

We demonstrate correct Tracking techniques for recording actual progress. This will keep the program accurate and relevant and relevant.
Setup for Tracking – we demonstrate how to set up and track progress accurately.

Tracking actual scenarios. We use the existing schedule to record progress based on changing scenarios.

Prepare a calendar and assignment to the project. This exercise is to familiarise the participants with how the calendar works and how it is applied to the project

2-Day Microsoft Project Comprehensive + Extension Course

The Extension course includes 1-Day Microsoft Project Comprehensive course PLUS the following.

We show you a logical way to structure your program so it is easy to manage and for others to follow

For projects that have multiple separable portions where contractual dates are assigned to each portion, we show you how to find the Critical Path to each portion.

The correct way of tracking is very important to keep your project up to date and relevant at all times. We revisit the process taught the previous day to ensure we lock in the correct tracking process. Additionally, we’ll demonstrate recording Variations, Changes and Delays in your project and how to substantiate the impact of Changes and Delays to the project.

This module is particularly important to demonstrate Delays and EOTs (Extensions of Time).

Testimonials

The course was well thought out and executed. The level of detail was great, particularly going back to basics to setup the program right from the beginning. Explaining why things are done was also very helpful.
My goal was to improve my overall understanding and ability to use Microsoft Project. I now understand the through process behind programming, how to setup a program in a way that allows the software to work for me + assist in my role. I will also now use the cashflow and resourcing function. Also setting up filters, templates etc for future use is helpful
Really practical and useful training workshop and covers a lot of grounds. The inclusion of good scheduling practice, ‘right’ way and ‘wrong’ way of using the software, people’s bad habits and tips to set up to save time in the long term, were really useful too. Brett is a really engaging instructor and very succinctly demonstrated all the powerful potential and functions of this useful software
I am fully convinced that the more detail / more accurate planning and update that one ‘invest’ in using MS projects, the more powerful and useful it can be for one’s projects.
Beginner friendly. Delivery was excellent. Super informative and very useful to my role. I wanted to learn to track and filter data and provide updated status reports. The tracking tool usage and status report pulling data quickly for ministerial requests suit our needs
Have thoroughly enjoyed the course. Have learnt how to use Microsoft Project it great, very interactive and engaging. The software is extremely beneficial for managing projects, in addition reporting purposes for management and minister queries
Really enjoyed the course, very interactive and very detailed easy to follow along. I feel more comfortable understanding relationship between planning and delivering a project
Really helpful and appropriately targeted
It will help me to setup program more strategically to assist with managing claims
