Basic

 Microsoft Project 2016 is one of the most popular scheduling and project management programs on the market. This course covers the basics of using Project 2016 and how to set up a simple project, including how to configure the project calendar, tasks, resources, and more. 

Starting a Project 

You need to walk before you can run, and that’s why this lesson starts with the basics such as Project Management 101, how to navigate and customize the Project 2016 Interface, add tasks to a project, add resources to a project, and save a project. 

Working with Project Calendars 

Once your students are familiar with the basics, it’s time to move onward. The second lesson takes a look at how to manage project time frames and how to change working time. 

Working with Project Tasks 

Tasks get a full consideration here as students are shown how to manage project tasks and add summary tasks and milestones. 

Working with Project Resources 

This is where students will learn more about project resources as the topics here include: manage project resources, and allocate and level work resources. 

Delivering a Project Plan 

This final lesson covers project plans and looks at how to print project views, share projects, and export projects.
