Have you ever been frustrated with Microsoft Project?
If that sounds like an utterly ridiculous question (as in: yes, every day), this class is for you.
Microsoft Project is brilliantly designed to make your life as a project manager so much easier. But here’s the problem: There are so many ways to use it wrong.
And once you do one thing wrong in Project, you’re left with hours and hours of problems to untangle.
That’s why most project managers are only using a fraction of the capabilities of Project. They’re tiptoeing around in the software, using it for one or two simple tasks, and doing everything possible to avoid running into exasperating errors.
This course was developed to help you avoid those frustrations completely, while also helping you leverage the full potential of this exceptional tool—because when you understand the right way to think about and use Project, you will get much more done in a lot less time, without the unexpected hangups.
