Business Applications Certification Overview
To effectively plan a project, you need to identify the tasks involved, determine the resources required, and estimate the overall project cost. Microsoft Project Professional is a tool that assists you in managing these elements efficiently.
In this course, you will learn how to create and modify a project plan from scratch. Once your plan is in place, you’ll set a baseline, track actual progress, and generate reports to compare performance against the original plan.
