When creating a project for the first time many project managers begin by typing information in the “Task Name” column. Later they find that Microsoft Project is calculating working time incorrectly.

Task dates begin to look inaccurate and the Project duration begins to change.

Finally, they may even abandon the use of Project in managing their project.

The problems began with the first data entry. Project was not set up correctly for data and so errors ensued.

Project is like other database applications in that the correct set-up and configuration of the software will drive accuracy.

In this webinar, Sam Huffman will explore and discuss the basics in setting up and configuring Microsoft Project for data. We will identify the features you need to know such as calendars, calendar hierarchies, scheduling methods and scheduling modes.

Speaker : Sam Huffman (LinkedIn profile) is a Microsoft Certified Trainer, Project Management Professional, and Project MVP. Sam has been delivering training for The Versatile Company since 1996. Sam gained insight into Microsoft Project while working at Microsoft as a member of the Microsoft Project development and support team. Sam is considered a leading authority on the tool, and provides great insight to project Managers on the newest enterprise features of all versions of Microsoft Project and Project Server.

In over 10 years of developing tools and providing services to clients with Master Schedules, Dan Friedrich has become (whether he wanted to or not!) a Master Schedule “Whisperer,” helping organizations with some of the largest Master Schedules ever created (eight levels of Masters nesting, anyone?) to clean up any issues with their Master Schedules, visualize them, consolidate and refactor them, and adopt practices to keep them running clean.

Dan will provide guidance that should prove useful whether or not you have the ideal tools, this time focusing on best practices using Master Schedules published on Microsoft Project Online or Project Server, including topics such as:

• What are the big differences between working with a Master stand-alone vs. on Project Server or Project Online (and we’ll just call it “Server” from now on)?
• Why is it so important to optimize Subproject structure when migrating a Master to Server, including optimal use of Project-level Enterprise Custom Fields?
• When should you open a Subproject from Server by itself and when should you open it within its Master?
• What are successful collaboration strategies for working on Masters on Server, across both internal and external organization boundaries, either sharing one Server, or with each organization having its own Server?
• When and how should you spin Masters off and on a Server?
• How to leverage Client- and Server-side Business Intelligence to visualize Master Schedule hierarchies, cross-project dependencies, key milestones, and much more (including banishing “bar code Gantts”!)?
• What Server SharePoint elements can you leverage with Masters, such as Deliverables to model giver/getter relationships between Subprojects?

Regardless which project management methodology you choose, you’ll still guide your projects through a project lifecycle.

The methodologies differ in how they progress through the lifecycle’s stages or phases and how you schedule and manage the work that’s performed.

In this session, John & Bonnie will explore implementing these methodologies in more detail. In addition, we’ll look at scheduling for these methodologies in Microsoft Project.
