Students
will learn how to use Microsoft Project for Windows XP to assist them
with project planning. Project management is a complex field that can
involve subjective decision-making. There is not one way to teach project
management, and this course is not designed to teach all techniques or
to cover every aspect of project management. Rather, it sets up situations
and examples that will best showcase the features and functionality of
the MS Project software. Students attending this course should be familiar
with the basics of the Windows XP operating system.
In addition, students should have some project management experience and be familiar with terms such as Gantt Chart, PERT Chart, task, critical path, and resource but, no knowledge of Microsoft Project for Windows is required. The student may acquire these Windows skills by taking the Introduction to Computers course, or have equivalent knowledge.
