Prerequisites
To ensure your success in this course, you should have basic knowledge and skills using the Microsoft® Windows® operating system—preferably the most current version. While you do not need to be an expert, some experience and competency with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word and Excel®, will be useful. Finally, having a foundational knowledge of project management concepts will help prepare you for working with Microsoft Project.
You can take any of the following course offerings from Logical Operations to attain the requisite knowledge and skills:
• Using Microsoft® Windows® 10 (Second Edition)
• Microsoft® Office Word: Part 1 (any current version)
• Microsoft® Office Excel®: Part 1 (any current version)
• Project Management Fundamentals (Third Edition)
What you’ll learn in this course
This course is designed to familiarize you with the basic features and functions of Microsoft Project so you can use it effectively and efficiently in a real-world environment. It covers the critical knowledge and skills a project manager needs to create a project plan with Project during the planning phase of a project. In other words, if your supervisor assigns you to lead a project, this course will enable you to draft a project plan with Project and share it with your supervisor (and others) for review and approval.
Note: This course is for anyone who has Project on the desktop, regardless of whether they purchased an “on-premise” edition or subscribed to a “cloud-based” (online) edition. Most project managers and project team members use the desktop application, so that is the main focus of this course. The main features of the online app are presented in an appendix.
This material will benefit users of any current Office version. The classroom environment setup is based on Office 2019
