Mr. Hemant Tale

Project Manager L & D, KPIT Technologies

"Two trainers sharing their perspective, knowledge & expertise, that was awesome and addition to our learning. While discussing the questions, both Kalyan Sir & Vivek Sir were adding different insights and challenging our thought process, that was nice as we were hearing everyone's insights & then come to an understanding that why that option is correct. This happens very less in other virtual platforms. and its short group so that was also an additional benefit that all were able to share their thoughts. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process & in-depth knowledge of both trainers. Make best use of their experience and enroll to this PMP certification program. Sessions are interactive, full of knowledge and covering examples from vast range of industry areas & in between quizzes for all the topics is icing on cake. I would recommend this training to all the aspiring Project managers."

Frequently asked questions

What is Microsoft Project?

Microsoft Project (MS Project) is a project management tool from Microsoft used to prepare project schedule, tracking project status and present customized reports to stakeholders. MS Project is a leading project management software used by project managers across industries.

Why is Microsoft Project important?

Often people get confused between MS Project and Excel due to its appearance however these two tools are entirely different. Excel is a general purpose tools used for various purpose whereas MS Project is very specific tool for managing projects. People feel they can learn and use MS Project like Excel and other office tools however MS Project implements project management principles, concepts and calculations and therefore much more complex to use than other office products. Like a complex machine requires proper training for it usage to get required output, MS Project also requires proper training for its effective usages to get required output. Without MS Project Training, one can make several mistakes and use bad practices that will make the life of project manager miserable with little productive outcome. The MS Project Training will make the person to use best practices, use the MS Project effectively and save precious time to spend on managing projects and team. To use Microsoft Project, training is a must.

Which industry or company use MS Project intensively?

MS Project is used across the industries. All major to minor companies use MS Project to effective plan, track and report their projects. It is equally popular in all types of industries.

Does it make sense to use MS Project Professional without having MS Project Server?

Yes, it does make sense. One can do all planning, tracking and reporting using MS Project Professional without project server. Project server will actually make collaboration among team and stakeholders easy. The main strength of Project Server is not planning or tracking but collaboration. MS Project server is multifold costlier than MS Project Professional. You can plan and track projects but collaboration like sharing project plan, collecting actual status, updated actual data in the schedule, sharing MOM, sharing documents, managing risk & issues etc. manually in the absence of project server.

How much this course is hands-on?

80% of MS Project Training is hands-on. We teach some basic concepts of project management that are necessary to understand MS Project. Remaining part is all hands-on. We teach through case studies. We take a project, schedule it, optimize it, track it and report it in the class. We also provide independent case study for participants to plan and track the projects so that they are confident that they can start using the tool from very next day.

Which version of MS Project will be used in the training?

The MS Project Training will use latest version of the Microsoft Project which is currently 2019. However the features on agenda of this training are fundament. They are by and large same in earlier version from 2013 until now. If you have any version from 2013 to 2019, you are good to go for this training. Even if you have 2010 version, you can still go for this training as 2010 lack only in reporting feature.

Will you use Project Standard or Project Professional?

We use Project Professional and recommend the same. Project Standard lack some of the features that may be critical and therefore we recommend Project Professional for the training.

Will it cover all features of MS Project?

No But you also do not need to know all the features of MS Project. Microsoft has a standard training of 3 days coving all the features. However many of those features are not used by project manager in a day to day life. In this 2 days workshop, we cover all features that project managers commonly require to manage their projects every day.
