From First Schedule to Programme Reporting
Skills covered in Microsoft Project range from building your first schedule to reporting across an entire programme. By the end of the training you can create dependency-linked plans, assign and balance resources, set baselines, track progress and produce clear, decision-ready reports.
Create project files, configure the project calendar and working time, and choose the right auto or manual scheduling mode to set your plan up correctly.
Enter tasks, build summary tasks and subtasks, and add milestones and recurring tasks to create a clear, hierarchical work breakdown structure.
Apply Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies with lag and lead time, then interpret the critical path and float.
Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, identify over-allocation, and resolve it with resource levelling and effort-driven scheduling.
Capture a baseline, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, and analyse schedule variance on the Tracking Gantt.
Track budgets and actual costs and interpret earned value metrics including BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI, CPI and estimate at completion.
Create custom fields with formulas and RAG indicators, custom tables, filters and groups, and clear visual reports for stakeholders.
Insert subprojects into a master project, create cross-project dependencies, resolve programme-level resource conflicts, and report at portfolio level.
