In this training course, advanced topics and specific areas of Microsoft® Project 2002 are addressed. In this 1-day training program, 2 advanced modules are covered. The Edwards Industries Core class in Microsoft® Project, which teaches the scheduling methodology, is strongly recommended before taking this course.

MANAGING MULTIPLE PROJECTS

Project Managers often have multiple or extremely complex projects in progress at the same time. Managing multiple concurrent projects requires many special considerations.

• Develop and manage master projects composed of multiple subprojects.
• Establish links between projects so that a task in one project can be a predecessor or successor to a task in another project.
• Share resources among projects by managing a shared “master” resource pool.
• Level the shared resources across all projects to properly allocate the staff in the organization.
• Save multiple files in a workspace so that all projects and resource sharing files can be opened
  simultaneously.

CREATING VIEWS AND FILTERS

One of the strengths of Microsoft® Project 2002 is the flexibility to filter the project data and view the information in a variety of layouts enabling specialized analysis of the schedule. In this module you will learn to define tables, views and filters in Microsoft® Project 2002. This module will also provide examples of views and filters that will assist in tracking and analyzing a project schedule.
