Getting to know MSP 4 lectures 42:51 User Interface This video is focused on understanding how to interact with the Project interface and how views and time phased data can help manage the complexities of a project schedule. Ribbons An in-depth review of the Ribbons in Microsoft is shown and tips and hints are provided to teach how to quickly adapt to the way the functionality is distributed across the eight ribbons. Options Options required to configure MSP to create and manage projects based on individual requirements are shown. Microsoft Project is a powerful but configurable tool, so it is important that it is configured appropriately. Each of the seven core pages of settings will be reviewed to ensure an understanding how MSP functions. Calendars Setting the default calendar is critical to ensuring that project schedules are accurate. Out of the shrink wrap, MSP is not aware of local, national and corporate holidays. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the calendar is set to define the work week and all holidays to ensure that the project finish dates are realistic and achievable. ​ Getting to know MSP 4 lectures 42:51 User Interface This video is focused on understanding how to interact with the Project interface and how views and time phased data can help manage the complexities of a project schedule.

Creating tasks Tasks are the core element of any Microsoft Project Schedule. However, there are many types of tasks: detail tasks, summary tasks, milestones and re-occurring tasks. Understanding how each of these tasks can add value to a project schedule helps ensure a highly functional project. This movie reviews both the types of tasks and how they can be added to a schedule. Task information dialog This movie explores the six tabs of the Task Information Dialog to ensure that you have a complete understanding of the core data that can be maintained for a task in your project schedule. Managing outline levels Outline levels provide readability, usability and most importantly, reportability to a project schedule. Understanding the principles of, and how to create outline levels is key to creating an effective project schedule. While the summary tasks that define the outline level of your project do not drive or impact the finish date, they allow you to expand and collapse the level of detail presented to make the plan more readable and ensures that you can always present the schedule to management at an appropriate level of detail. Maintaining tasks This video reviews the ways that task details can be maintained: task information dialog, view columns, and split view, and provides a number of tips on when each method is most effective. As well, this video provides additional tips on the most effective methods for moving, cutting, pasting and deleting tasks within your schedule. Creating dependencies Task dependencies are critical to ensure the work on the project is completed in the proper order. This video starts with a review of the types of dependencies and then provides an in-depth review of the various ways that dependencies can be added to a project schedule. Setting deadlines and constraints Adding deadlines and constraints to a project schedule allows the project timeline to be fully controlled and allows key dates to be defined which are critical to project success.
