The Program
This course is designed to give students an understanding and confidence using Microsoft Project 2019 by providing individual, hands-on participation in the demonstration of the software features and functions. Students will learn about all aspects of the software and how to use it effectively. The course focuses on CPM scheduling, with brief references to Critical Chain and Agile project management methodologies as they might be implemented with Microsoft Project 2019. Students will perform all the features and functions demonstrated as well as perform individual exercises to reinforce the material. The course will also cover Microsoft Project versions 2010–2016, for any participants who have not yet switched to the newer version.
