    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft Project

    From First Schedule to Programme Reporting

    This hands-on Microsoft Project course builds practical, job-ready scheduling skills. By the end, you can plan a project from scratch, resource and cost it, track delivery, and report progress to stakeholders with confidence.

    Set up Projects and Calendars

    Create project files, configure calendars and working time, and choose automatic or manual scheduling so your plans reflect real working conditions from the start.

    Build Work Breakdown Structures

    Enter tasks, summary tasks and milestones, and structure a clear WBS with realistic durations, so a complex project becomes an organised, scannable schedule.

    Link Tasks and Find the Critical Path

    Apply Finish-to-Start and other dependencies with lag and lead time, then read the critical path and float to see what really drives your project end date.

    Assign and Balance Resources

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, spot over-allocation, and level resources so your plan is achievable, not just optimistic.

    Baseline and Track Progress

    Set baselines, record actual progress, and use the Tracking Gantt and variance tables to see slippage early and keep projects on course.

    Control Cost and Earned Value

    Track budget and actual cost, and calculate Earned Value measures such as SPI and CPI to report performance and flag overruns before they escalate.

    Report to Stakeholders

    Produce built-in and custom reports, views and dashboards that communicate status clearly to managers, funders and executives without sharing raw project files.

    Manage Multiple Projects

    Use master projects, subprojects and resource pools to consolidate several projects, resolve cross-project resource conflicts and report at programme level.
