Microsoft Project Tutorial #1: Learn Project Management Scheduling in 10 Easy Steps!
Overcome the Microsoft Project schedule development learning curve and learn how to build a project schedule you can rely on!
Microsoft Project Tutorial #1 provides a step by step process for project schedule development using our favorite scheduling tool - Microsoft Project! Project schedule development is the process of translating project activities into a schedule of tasks with dates and resources. Microsoft Project is one of the leading tools for project management scheduling but it has moderate learning curve.
When I first started using Microsoft Project, I encountered a lot of scheduling problems including:
- Ineffective project schedules due to insufficient Microsoft Project training or MS Project tutorials
- Dates would change for no reason
- Strange constraint error messages would appear
- Resources weren't allocated across the project correctly.
- Huge problems I had when I tried to change a date.
Your book content has been a great resource. A quick reference to information that gets right to the point with information I need.
- Debra Martin
Novice project managers often make the following mistakes:
- Skimp on project management scheduling and jump right into execution.
- Fail to build a project schedule that is useful for tracking and reporting
- Assume you simply put in a few tasks and pick a few dates
- Incorrectly committ to an anticipated delivery date without sufficient evidence
I’m sure you can relate to this experience as effective project managers know it takes the proper Microsoft Project training, tutorials, and a moderate amount of time to effectively build a project schedule.
Fortunately, I’ve been able to put together a simple, easy to follow 10-step technique:
- Quickly overcomes the MS-Project 2007 learning curve
- Enables you to quickly build a project schedule that your project team and your business customers can count on
- It is the same method that I teach in my Microsoft Project training courses
- It is the same MS Project tutorial that I ask my PMOs and project managers to follow when applying project management scheduling.
I have used your book for a couple of hours and had to tell you that I have learned more about MS Project than reading any manual or reference documents. So far, this is the best $29 I have spent to date. Thanks for the great material! - Mike Normand
