Course Description:

'' The first version of our 2-day Hands-on Microsoft Project course was developed in 1999, and was based on Microsoft Project software version �8. Since then, there have been numerous upgrades to Microsoft Project, and our original course has kept pace, with updated courseware for MSP versions 2000, 2002, 2003, and, now 10 years later, 2007.

The secret to this course’s success, and its 10-year long popularity among our clients, is the fact that a single project simulation is used over the entire course. Each feature in MSP �whether it is learning how to resolve a resource conflict, or how to use project filters �is taught within the context of the project simulation. The course begins with essentially a blank sheet, but by the end of the second day, participants have input a complete project into MSP �including resources, costs, task dependencies and constraints. They are all the while learning tips and techniques that encourage both greater efficiency and fewer potential errors. They have also learned how to identify and resolve resource and scheduling conflicts, set a baseline, update actual status information, and create meaningful status reports geared to various stakeholder groups. In other words, participants learn not only how to “push buttons�in MSP, but more importantly how to use MSP on a real project.

The key to making this style of software course successful is to avoid turning it into a typing and data entry exercise. We have found the key to maintaining a focus on practice and problem-solving using our unique instructional methodology. Participants get plenty of hands-on practice and decision-making practice with minimal routine input of project data. After the course, participants take home a data CD containing all data files. The CD, together with the workbook which contains very detailed step-by-step instructions, numerous screen captures, and helpful tips and best practices, allow participants to repeat any exercise of the course they wish to at any time. In fact, given the structured layout of the materials, participants often use the course materials on their own projects to support them through their first few projects �substituting the course files for their own data.
