Microsoft Teams is the hub for teamwork within Office 365. Microsoft Teams solves for the collaboration and communication needs of a diverse workforce. Since the initial preview we have extended the capabilities to include chat, voice and video.

Since the preview moment, Microsoft Teams has evolved into a complete meetings experience that now includes chat, voice and video. Microsoft Teams will modernize your meetings experience.

Before a meeting team members can review conversations, during a meeting teams can share content and hold the meeting using a diverse array of communication mediums including audio conferencing and video.

After a meeting team members can review history, access recordings and much more. Microsoft Teams supports private and group meeting capabilities, scheduling capabilities and free/busy calendar availability for team members.

The Office apps and services that people use every day – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, the new Planner task management app, Stream video portal, even Power BI – are all built-in, so people have the information and tools they need right within the context of Microsoft Teams.

Presenter: Ivor Davies (LinkedIn profile) is an accomplished SharePoint professional specializing in SharePoint Admin / Training / Configuration & Process Automation Ivor is a keynote speaker on the SharePoint circuit, Ivor has exceptional presentation skills with the ability to communicate effectively coupled with the ability to engage his audience during his training sessions.

There are three forecasts you can make with Microsoft Project: Time, Workload or Cost forecasts:

• The time forecast will tell you if your project will finish on time.
• The workload forecast will allow you to keep the workloads of your resources reasonable while finishing your project on time. A workload model will increase the level of confidence for all stakeholders that your project schedule is feasible and will end on time.
• The cost forecast allows you to keep your project within its budget (while finishing on time as well). Cost models can predict when funding is needed; they can even project profits over time.

This chart shows these three incremental levels of forecasting with MS Project, that are also the levels of proficiency with Microsoft Project:

In this webinar, Eric Uyttewaal will demonstrate how to build a model of the project from the ground up from level 1 to 3:

1. First, he will enter the 4D’s:
   1. Deliverables,
   2. Duration,
   3. Dependencies and
   4. Deadlines.
2. Then, he will add the 5A’s and turn the Time Model into a Workload Model:
   1. Activities,
   2. Availabilities of resources,
   3. Assignments,
   4. Assignment Units and
   5. Assignment Effort.
3. Finally, he will add the 6C’s and turn the Workload Model into a Cost Model:
   1. Capital (budget),
   2. Charge Accounts,
   3. Cost & Material Resources,
   4. Charge Rates,
   5. Charge Rate Escalation and
   6. Cost Accrual.

When clients call ProjectPro, Eric asks them right away: “What kind of model should your project managers create:

• A Time, Workload or
• A Cost Model?”

Often, that’s all Eric needs to know when assessing their training needs and for presenting the right topics during training.

Come and experience how powerful this incremental framework is in the world of Microsoft Project training.
