Overview

This course is designed for individuals who will use Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 as a tool to assist them in managing projects. The topics in this course cover the critical skills necessary to create and modify a project plan file that contains tasks, resources, and resource assignments. You will create a project plan file containing tasks, organise these tasks in a work breakdown structure containing task relationships, create and assign resources, and finalise the project to implement the project plan. Day two will build upon that knowledge, and give you the opportunity to work with a project plan once it has entered the project. You will exchange project plan data with other applications, update project plans, create custom reports, and reuse project plan information.
