Assuming no prior knowledge of Microsoft Project participants are taken through the entire stepped process of creating and managing a successful project plan and then tracking the progress of the project plan with the objective of managing a project so that it is completed on time and within budget.
	Who Should Attend: Participants should either be newcomers, those making the transition from an older version, or those who are self taught in Project, and wanting to "fill in the gaps" and learn faster and smarter ways of working with Project. A knowledge of Windows is required, and attendees must be competent with the keyboard and mouse.
