Project is one of the most popular scheduling and project management programs on the market. This version of Project will look and feel familiar to those who have used earlier versions of the software. However, there are new features, such as multiple timelines, improved resource scheduling, and the natural-language help feature, called Tell Me.
By the end of Microsoft Project 2016 Part One, users should be comfortable with creating a basic project. The first part of Velsoft’s two-part Microsoft Project 2016 training package?begins with an introductory look at starting a project, and over the course of four more lessons discusses working with project calendars, tasks, resources, and delivering a project plan.
Each Velsoft course package comes complete with all the tools you need to deliver a comprehensive training session, including an instructor guide, student manual, quick reference guide, PowerPoint slides, and more.
