Sometimes Microsoft Project users describe Microsoft Project as a “black hole”, feeling like the software “takes, but it will not give back”.

For example, did you know that Microsoft Project does not contain any default view or table that allows you to analyze Duration variance so that you can determine which tasks are taking longer than originally planned?

In this webinar, Dale Howard (Microsoft Project MVP) will show you how to create powerful views in Microsoft Project using two different methods, including how to create the “missing” view that will allow you to analyze Duration variance in your own projects.

Learn 3 ways you can get team members to:

• Understand with a Team-focused Project Site
