You need to gather information about the various tasks involved, resources required to accomplish the tasks, and the overall cost in order to plan a project. Microsoft Project acts as a tool that assists you in managing your projects. In this course, you will create and modify a project plan. Once the plan is created, you will set a baseline, track project actuals and report against the plan using Microsoft Project.

This course is suitable for anyone using Microsoft Project 2013, 2016 or 2019 Standard or Professional editions and Microsoft Project Online Desktop Client. If you’re attending at a QA location, the course will be delivered on Microsoft Project Professional 2016.
