Welcome to Microsoft® Project® 2019/2021: Part 1. 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. This course 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.

Welcome to Microsoft® Project® 2019/2021: Part 2. This course is designed to acquaint you with the advanced features and functions of Microsoft Project, enabling you to utilise it effectively and efficiently in a real-world business environment.

In Microsoft® Project® 2019/2021: Part 1, you mastered the fundamental features of Microsoft Project during the project planning phase. This course builds on that foundation, covering the advanced knowledge and skills a project manager requires to update a project plan within Project during the execution, monitoring, and controlling phases. Essentially, once your project plan has been approved by the project sponsor, this course will equip you with the tools to manage the project so it is completed on time, within budget, and according to scope.

Note: This course is suitable for anyone who uses Project on their desktop, whether they have purchased an "on-premise" edition or subscribed to a "cloud-based" (online) edition. As most project managers and team members utilise the desktop application, this course focuses primarily on that interface. The main features of the online app are outlined in an appendix.

This material is beneficial for users of any current Office version. The classroom environment setup is based on Office 2019.

This instructor-led, live training in Nigeria (online or onsite) is designed for project managers who wish to work with MS Project and MS Project Server.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure MS Project and MS Project Server.
• Understand how to share and manage resources across projects.
• Identify project risks, problems and solutions in real time.

In the demanding landscape of project management, the distinction between triumph and failure frequently depends on the tools employed and the proficiency with which they are used. Without a centralized, dynamic scheduling tool, organizations are exposed to the Cost of Inaction: missed deadlines, hidden resource bottlenecks, and budget overruns that diminish profit margins. Dependence on static spreadsheets or disconnected tools creates a "blind spot" where critical path delays remain unnoticed until recovery is impossible.

Microsoft Project is the industry standard for good reason—it empowers managers to deliver projects on time and within budget. However, merely possessing the software is insufficient; harnessing its full potential requires practical, hands-on expertise.
