Course Overview
This intensive 3-day course takes your Microsoft Project competency to the Enterprise level. The field of Enterprise Project Management
(aka EPM) presents many new challenges, even for the experienced user of Microsoft Project. Using hands-on exercises and following
the project management life cycle of defining, planning, and executing, students learn how to manage enterprise projects effectively
during each stage of the life cycle. In addition, this course teaches the student how to master the powerful new features in Microsoft
Project 2010, such as Manually Scheduled tasks, the Team Planner and Timeline views, and cancelling a task using the Inactivate feature.
You will interact with an instructor with real-world experience in deploying and using Project and Project Server 2010.
Target Audience
We designed this course for those who serve as project managers, portfolio managers, or schedulers in an enterprise project management environment
using the Microsoft EPM platform. We also recommend this training for application administrators who support business users and maintain the Project
Server application configuration, to provide for better end-user understanding and communication.
