If you are self taught, require a refresher course or simply want to develop your skills in more specific areas of the application, we have developed a series of half-day workshops, each developed around a theme and will be ideal for those ready to expand their Microsoft Project knowledge.
Microsoft Project is a powerful scheduling tool and the type of work you’re doing will dictate which areas of the application you’ll need to be familiar with. We have developed our workshops to meet industry needs, which we have identified over a period of ten years working with clients.
Full course outlines can be found here.
Workshop 1 – Resources
This workshop is designed for those people who need to assign resources to their project tasks and ensure their availability. If you have been struggling with this aspect of the application (including task durations changing unpredictably) this workshop will demystify resource assignment by unveiling project’s effort calculations and provide you with the skills to resolve resource overallocations (also known as leveling).
Workshop 2 – Multiple Projects
This workshop is designed to assist you with consolidating multiple projects into a Master project file for tracking and reporting. You can have thousands of tasks in a project schedule but it is definitely more manageable if split into smaller projects feeding into a Master Project. Each project manager can then manage their own plans and resources. You will learn how Microsoft Project can assist you to manage multiple resources and ensure their availability. We will also look at creating templates to ensure consistent and speedy project setup.
Workshop 3 – Developing a Schedule (Best Practice)
If you are self-taught or haven’t used project for a few years, this workshop is an excellent review covering the basics of schedule development. We will move through the calendar setup, learn lots of short cuts, review relationships and the effects of applying constraints to tasks.
Workshop 4 – Customisation
If you need to customise the Microsoft Project environment this workshop is ideal. Learn how to create your own tables and templates to meet your team’s needs. You will have the opportunity to see how Microsoft Project integrates with other applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Excel, as well as establishing a baseline and tracking actual data.
Workshop 5 – Working with your own schedule
If you are developing a schedule and need assistance to review techniques for Microsoft Project setup, creating relationships and assigning resources, this workshop is ideal.
Here you have the opportunity to develop or reassess your own schedule in a small workshop environment with an experienced planner/instructor. There will be no more than 6 people in the workshop to ensure adequate time can be spent with each attendee. The first hour will be given over to reviewing MS Project. You will have the opportunity to ask questions during this segment. During the second half of the session you will work on your own schedule applying the new techniques you have learnt. The instructor will provide practical feedback on your plan.
