When creating a project for the first time many project managers begin by typing information in the “Task Name” column. Later they find that Microsoft Project is calculating working time incorrectly.

Task dates begin to look inaccurate and the Project duration begins to change.

Finally, they may even abandon the use of Project in managing their project.

The problems began with the first data entry. Project was not set up correctly for data and so errors ensued.

Project is like other database applications in that the correct set-up and configuration of the software will drive accuracy.

In this webinar, Sam Huffman will explore and discuss the basics in setting up and configuring Microsoft Project for data. We will identify the features you need to know such as calendars, calendar hierarchies, scheduling methods and scheduling modes.

Speaker : Sam Huffman (LinkedIn profile) is a Microsoft Certified Trainer, Project Management Professional, and Project MVP. Sam has been delivering training for The Versatile Company since 1996. Sam gained insight into Microsoft Project while working at Microsoft as a member of the Microsoft Project development and support team. Sam is considered a leading authority on the tool, and provides great insight to project Managers on the newest enterprise features of all versions of Microsoft Project and Project Server.
