Description

While Project Professional allows you to create both master and sub projects, Microsoft Project for the Web (PWA) is your go-to-tool for managing numerous projects and allocating resources throughout your company. With PWA, you can check your resource allocations and verify that a resource will not be double booked, along with verifying if another Project Manager within your organization may already be using that piece of equipment if it’s assigned to a resource.

ACCNJ member Zentek Consultants is offering a course that covers the differences between Project for the Web, Project Online, and Project Professional but will be within both the Project for the Web & Project Professional programs during this course.

This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses.

Note: Instructor will be using the latest version of Microsoft Project for the Web and Project Professional and students are encouraged to use same.

Must attend all four sessions. All sessions will run 8:30am - 10:30am.
