Learn Microsoft Project 2016 For Beginners

Here is the surefire method every beginner project manager needs to quickly master Microsoft Project 2016. One of Microsoft's very first applications created way back in the 1980s, MS Project has since become a standard and remains a constantly evolving tool for project managers.

MS Project helps you develop a plan, assign resources to tasks, track progress, manage your budget and analyze workloads. This video course, taught by a professional trainer with a background in project management, takes you step by step from the very beginning through all of these functions. You'll go from very simple projects to gaining a more complete grasp and operation of Project's capabilities.

This course starts right at the very beginning. It doesn't assume you know anything about Microsoft Project, so beginners will feel right at home.

The first video lesson introduces you to the software. You'll learn how to get your own copy of Project 2016, see what's new in version 2016 and explore the structure of this course.

The second chapter takes on the basics you need to begin using Project 2016. It first discusses the Help section where you can get answers and tutorials for any question that comes up. This chapter also discusses creating a Workspace, using Toolbars, Ribbons and the Status Bar.

Continue on as you learn how to use Touch, Task basics and Project Options. By now you will have become proficient with Project 2016. The chapters that follow lead learners through all the various aspects of managing a project.

These more advanced topics carry you through Tracking Costs, Tracking the Project, Budgeting and Reporting.

Each topic is explained with its own professional video that shows you in detail how to properly use the function. Nine hours of insightful video gives you in-depth understanding of each topic.
