Nowadays, most software is easy to use. MS Project is one of the most user friendly software out there.

Unlike other scheduling software, you don’t need a user manual to use the main features of MS Project.

However, you would not be able to exploit the power of MS Project if you do not know what’s happening behind the scenes. MS Project will give unexpected results if you do not enter your data properly.

Learning Objectives:

• You will learn about a step by step approach to create a proper project schedule.
• Help understand the intricacies of MS Project in a simple and easy manner.
