Dear Project Manager, |
Volume 6, number

Welcome to
2008's fourth newsletter.
In
this month's newsletter you can expect another helpful tip - in particular,
how to manipulate tables of data within Microsoft Project.
Also, with the 2008 Beijing Olympics now fully underway, I was reminded of an
article written by Project Learning's Diane Gosling about the preparation for
the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. To find out how a colossal project like the
building of Olympic venues gets going,
follow this link to read
Diane's article.
I
hope that you find this newsletter's other articles interesting and useful.
Don't forget that if you have any suggestions for newsletter articles, do email
me at the address below.

Sincerely
Andy Jessop
CEO and Founder

Technical Tips and Tricks
- Viewing information within tables |
|
 |
The last three tips and tricks concentrated on planning the tasks that make up a
new project. This next series of interactive lessons focus on helping you ensure
that you have as much relevant information about tasks, schedule and sequence as
possible. You can choose from a
complete interactive lesson or a quick
audio/video walkthrough movie - simple.
Taken from our critically-acclaimed
Project Mentor learning system,
the first of these interactive lessons looks at how tabular information provides
a wealth of useful information about what happens when.
Although you may have reviewed schedules before, you will find this lesson
very useful. Many Microsoft Project users are bewildered by the amount of
information fields at their disposal, often unaware that specific tables contain
fields that relate to each other, both in the information they contain and also
the relevance of that information. Just go to:

Following a major database

(PLP) information to a new database server went smoothly and without a hitch.
If you experienced any outage during the migration, thank you for your patience.
All Project Mentor users should now experience faster and fault-tolerant access
whenever they use their PLP.
