Project 2002 (XP) Level 1 Creating a project

Course Description
Course Outline

Overview

This course is designed for individuals who will use Microsoft Project 2002 as a tool to assist them in managing projects. The topics in this course cover the critical skills necessary to create and modify a project plan file that contains tasks, resources, and resource assignments.

Prerequisites

Students should have a good understanding of project management concepts and be familiar with project management terminology such as Gantt Chart, task, critical path, and resource. We recommend that students new to project management take the Systematix course Project Management Fundamentals, or develop equivalent skills, before embarking on Project 2002 training. Knowledge of a Windows operating system (for example Windows 2000/Windows XP) is assumed. A basic knowledge of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel would be helpful, but are not required.

Benefits

Students will learn to create a project plan file containing tasks, organize these tasks in a work breakdown structure containing task relationships, create and assign resources, and finalize the project in order to implement the project plan.

Target student

This course is designed for a person who has an understanding of project management concepts, who is responsible for creating and modifying project plans, and who needs a tool to manage those project plans.
