MS Project Training Manuals & Assignments

This hands on, experiential, student based manual uses a highly visual step by step approach to create applied project management examples. It assumes that the student has no experience or background with either MS Project software or project management. The manual is for learning to use MS Project software proficiently. We suggest that anyone teaching Project Management start with MS Project software. You will see that within 10 hours students are quite competent with the software and with the basic concepts of project management. This synergistic effect will free you, the instructor, up, to go into greater depth and detail with project management concepts. The topics covered include:

Input of tasks, duration's, predecessors, start and finish dates, and resources (single or multiple) into the Gantt chart.
Input of wages (Regular and overtime) into the Resource Sheet
Input of fixed costs for materials into the Fixed Cost Sheet
Budget Cost Report for the entire project.
PERT (Network Diagram) Charts are created to visually represent the entire project.
Critical Path, Lead time and Lag time are used in the examples as are "Finish-Start", "Finish-Finish", "Start-Start" relationships.
Time scheduling for individual resources and the entire project

The manual is incredibly directed, resulting in students working through the materials and coming out with an in-depth knowledge of both the MS Project software and project management fundamentals in the shortest time period possible!

Distance delivery and e-learning classes are greatly enhanced with the use of these materials as questions are answered by working through the materials. Each project takes an average of one hour to complete. The book is designed for an 8 -12 hour course.
