Project Plan Development (CORE)
Project success is not measured by the amount of documentation that is produced. The success of a Project is directly impacted by the quality of the documentation and the communication and use of the documentation. It's not "How Much" but "What" needs to be documented and "How" you use this documentation to manage your project. The course will focus on a format for successful documentation of your projects. Learn how to create a "Project Plan" that you can use to manage your project.

MS Project® (ELECTIVE)
Most MS Project courses teach how to use the various features of this software, but don’t teach how to use them together in an integrated manner to create a real life practical project. This course will do just that. Each member of the class will build a project from the bottom-up–learning and practicing along the way all the different views, tables, and reports. The underlying agenda of the class is to build real confidence in moving around inside the software. Not only will scheduling be learned, but resource loading and levelling, cost loading and monitoring, critical path, earned value, and WBS creation and restructuring. Multiple project management, insertion, and resource pooling will also be studied. You can sit and watch the instructor do all this on the screen if you like, but it is strongly encouraged that you bring your own laptop loaded with MS Project, preferably the 2003 version.
This course is recommended for beginning users of MS Project, or intermediate users who want to review and practice. Other than general keyboard facility and ability to work with software programs, no actual background in MS Project is required; however, familiarity with common project management practices as outlined in the PMBOK is definitely required.
This course is not recommended for advanced users. MS Project Server, enterprise project management, and back-end MS Project processes will not be addressed.
