Course Description
This course covers the features within Microsoft Project 2016 that every project manager needs to know. Students will learn how to update tasks, split tasks, reschedule project work, move a project and set new baselines. In addition, students will learn to use the variance table, display progress lines, edit and create custom tables, create custom views, and sort and filter project information. Students will also learn how to work with Project reports, create custom reports, and work with visual reports. In addition, students will review how to set default options, save a project template, use the content organizer, compare Project versions, and finally how to work with Subprojects.
