    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft Project

    Hands-On Capability, Not Just Theory

    This training covers the practical Microsoft Project capabilities that project roles need, from Fundamentals scheduling to Advanced resource levelling, Earned Value and multi-project management. By the end, you can plan a project from scratch, control it as work progresses, and report status with clarity.

    Project Setup and Calendars

    You will learn to create and configure Microsoft Project files, set the project calendar, working time and scheduling options, and choose between automatic and manual scheduling so every project starts on a solid, controlled footing.

    Work Breakdown Structures and Tasks

    Build a structured task list with summary tasks, subtasks, milestones and recurring tasks, and enter durations correctly using the work, duration and units relationship.

    Dependencies and the Critical Path

    Link tasks with Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies, apply lag and lead time, and read the critical path to manage schedule risk.

    Resource Management and Levelling

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, identify over-allocation, and use resource levelling and pools to balance workloads across projects.

    Baselines and Progress Tracking

    Set the project baseline, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, and use the Tracking Gantt and Variance table to see how delivery compares to plan.

    Cost Management and Earned Value

    Track budget and actual cost, and apply Earned Value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI and CPI to report project performance to stakeholders.

    Custom Views, Reports and Dashboards

    Create custom fields with formulas and RAG indicators, tailor tables, views and filters, and produce Gantt charts, visual reports and dashboards for clear status communication.

    Master Projects and Programme Reporting
