Microsoft Project Tips and Tricks - Part 3

In conjunction with Microsoft, we recently delivered a series of high-impact tips and tricks sessions to a wide and varied audience of Microsoft Project users in Wellington and Auckland, NZ.  Within the sessions, we covered subjects that included:

• Calendarising your projects to match the way that you work.
• Create flexible, structured schedules that plan what you need to do and how you need to do it.
• Identify schedule changes quickly and easily, reviewing their impact on your project’s key deliverables.
• Plan, allocate and delegate work to your team more effectively.
• Create meaningful reports that meet the varying needs of all your project’s stakeholders.
• Capture actuals, evaluate variances and re-plan work to keep your project on track.
• Create programmes of work and manage key dependencies and resource utilisation across multiple projects.

We received some excellent feedback from the attendees, so we'd like to share these tips and tricks with you.  We've broken down the delegate handouts into three parts; following a typical project's lifecycle.  If you've already downloaded parts 1 or 2, just click on the link below for part 3:

As one satisfied user told us
"I would describe it as something I use with great success. I am an experienced project manager with many years experience using MSProject - yet, I'm learning continuously. I highly recommend it for new PM's as well as the older dogs..."

New Zealand Public Course Dates: July - December 2009

Our 2009 public course schedule has been a great success.  We've had great feedback from delegates about our training venues and, most importantly, about the quality of the training and how it will help them to plan and manage projects more effectively.  We're therefore delighted to announce a schedule of public training courses for the remainder of 2009. 

Delivered at our centrally-located venues in Auckland and Wellington, this new schedule provides probably the most comprehensive set of Project Management theory and Microsoft Project training available within New Zealand.  To view the courses and scheduled dates, just click on the link below:
