Course description
This course is designed to help project managers and team members effectively track, analyze, and manage project performance using Microsoft Project. This course focuses on the tools and techniques that are needed to monitor progress, identify variances, and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. Learners begin by exploring the Variance Table, which compares baseline values to actuals and highlights schedule deviations. The course explains how to interpret positive and negative variances and use this insight to assess project health. Learners will also learn how to display progress lines on the Gantt chart to visualize alignment with the project timeline. The course then covers customizing tables by editing and inserting fields, including baseline, actual, and custom-calculated fields. Learners will see how they can create new fields using formulas and save custom tables for future use. These skills enable teams to tailor their views to focus on the most relevant project data. Additionally, the course introduces grouping and sorting techniques to organize project information by resource, completion status, or other criteria. These features help streamline reporting and improve visibility into project performance. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to monitor project progress with precision, customize views for better insights, and communicate status effectively to stakeholders.
