Many Project Managers and team members are required to use Microsoft Project to plan and manage their project efforts. But, they often lack needed training to use the product effectively.

Solutions Cube Group, in collaboration with 6D Tech Inc, is offering this accelerated webinar designed to help Project Managers learn the not so basic basics to create a Project Schedule, including task dependencies, as well as resource assignments using Microsoft Project.

During the webinar, we will discuss some of the new features now available in Microsoft Office Project designed to help you build a better schedule by understanding the drivers for the tasks in your project (e.g. What impacts my tasks?).

After taking this course students will be able to develop more robust project schedules as they take the concepts taught and apply them immediately on current or new projects.

In the Using Microsoft Project webinar, participants will learn:

• How to set up a Project – the correct way including calendar setup and use of the most common project options
• How to use multiple undo functions to correct inadvertent mistakes or perform “what-if” scenarios •How to create a WBS with tasks and milestones
• How to link dependencies to tasks understanding the reasons why and impacts of doing so
• The difference between Duration and Work and its impact on the Project Schedule
• How to assign resources to tasks
• How to format and print Project Plans using highlighting capabilities to create an impact

Solutions Cube Group courses successfully close the gap between Project Management theory and practical application of implementing this theory through the use of time tested tools and techniques and experiential learning opportunities.

Course Agenda:

• Setting up a Project
• Assigning Resources
• Entering Tasks
• Formatting and Printing Project Plans
• Linking Tasks and Setting up Dependencies

Who Should Attend This Course:

• Project Managers
• Project Team Members
• PMO Staff
• Business Analysts

New employees offer promise & potential
For their employers.

In order to be successful, new employees must acclimate quickly to their new organization’s culture, structure, policies, procedures, and job expectations.

If this does not occur, the promise of a new employee can quickly become a liability.

Further, employees who are new to an organization, generally consume more resources then the value of their productivity (Rollag, Parise, & Cross, 2005).

It is critical for organizations to experience a return on their investment by means of increased productivity over time.

This will not happen if new employees fail to reach full productivity or leave the organization before they have an opportunity to contribute in a way that affects the organization’s performance outcomes and bottom line (Chang, Ehrlich, & Millen, 2004).

After the first three months, most new employees can perform functionally, understanding rules, regulations, processes, and governance.

However, if they do not develop personal connections both intellectually and socially, they will not experience continued growth in the organization (Chang, Ehrlich, & Millen, 2004).

Organizational socialization has a profound influence on new employee adjustment.

Onboarding is an acclimation process focused on integrating new employees into a company’s culture (Dai & De Meuse, 2007) both functionally and socially.

This presentation will explain the impact of utilizing a comprehensive onboarding program to improve new employee’s success.
