Skills You Will Build in Microsoft Project
From First Gantt Chart to Full Programme Control
This training builds practical, job-ready skills across both Fundamentals and Advanced levels. By the end, you can plan, resource, cost, track and report on projects, and manage several projects together as a programme.
Build a Project Schedule from Scratch
Skills covered in Microsoft Project training start here: create a project file, set the calendar and working time, and build a work breakdown structure with tasks, summary tasks, milestones and realistic durations.
Link Tasks and Find the Critical Path
Link tasks using Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies with lag and lead time, then read the critical path and float to protect your project finish date.
Assign and Balance Resources
Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, spot over-allocation, and apply resource levelling and optimisation so demand stays within availability.
Set Baselines and Track Progress
Set a project baseline, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, use the Tracking Gantt, and analyse schedule variance to see exactly where a plan is slipping.
Manage Costs and Earned Value
Track budgets and actual costs, then calculate and report Earned Value metrics including BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI and CPI to show cost and schedule performance clearly to stakeholders.
Create Custom Views, Reports and Dashboards
Build custom fields with formulas and RAG indicators, custom tables, views, filters and visual reports, and present project status through dashboards instead of raw files.
Manage Multiple Projects as a Programme
Insert subprojects into a master project, create cross-project dependencies, share resource pools and resolve programme-level conflicts for a consolidated PMO view.
Run What-If Scenarios and Close Out Projects
Use multiple baselines for scenario planning, model scope changes, manage schedule risk and buffers, and formally close out a project with final performance reporting.
