Microsoft Project Working Session

Could your team use some guidance in developing a quality Microsoft Project plan for an upcoming project? Is it unclear how to proceed in developing that plan? If so, and if members of the planning team know how to use Microsoft Project, then the Microsoft Project Working Session may be just what your core team could benefit from. Save time, accelerate your project planning process, and create a higher quality plan by having a Schedule Associates facilitator/consultant travel to your location to work with your core team on developing a plan for your upcoming project or improving an existing plan!

Working Sessions are one or more days in length depending on your needs and consist of a combination of facilitation, consulting, and hands-on training and plan development. If it's consistent with your goals for the Session, you'll finish the Session with an initial draft of a plan for your project and a strategy on how to revise and use it during the course of the project.

Take your knowledge of Microsoft Project the next step and get assistance in applying it to an actual project in your workplace!
