Many, many times we see that project timing and project resourcing are managed in MS Project, while project finances are kept in Excel.

Using the financial governance capabilities in MS Project is often an unexploited area. This is a waste, because only adding rates to resources will already bring you half way.

MS Project can calculate anything for you directly from your schedule.

In this webinar Sander Nekeman will show you how to get the financial part of your project in MS Project, by building on what you already have in your schedule.

Sander will show you how to enter a project budget for main cost types, compare planned cost against actual cost, predict eventual cost at project complete based on actual progress.

Sander will discuss the built-in financial reports, and examine earned value metrics to qualify the project’s performance. For any proficiency level, the only thing you need is the will to automate work and save time!

Presenter: Sander Nekeman (LinkedIn profile) MCP trained more than 40 organizations on embedding the ‘new way of project work.’  Together with his business partner Edwin van den Broek (LinkedIn profile), Sander decided to compile the knowledge on successfully embedding MS Project and MS Project E-Learning was born, an  online course including a maturity-level approach, a proven way of work, weekly quality checks on schedules, and all the tips & tricks that can save planners time.

The future of IT is hybrid, it’s agile and it’s enterprise-defined.

Enterprise IT must become the service provider of outcomes – with infrastructure on-premises and in multiple cloud providers.

Different services require different IT models, and outcomes can range from efficiency and low price to agility and business value. IT will need to do it all – without actually doing all of it.

Discussion Topics:

  • How the workload paradigm is changing, and how I&O (Infrastructure & Operations) should support it
  • I&O’s role in a bimodal, multisourced, cloud computing world
  • How to be a successful broker of services
