Project 2007 EPM Immersion
This course is designed to introduce users to the full range of functionality supported by Microsoft Office Project Server & Professional 2007, the latest EPM tool from Microsoft.
Course Format
This course uses a preconfigured instance of the EPM solution running on Microsoft Virtual PC. The course is designed to illustrate the full functionality of the solution and as a result attendees will adopt different roles when using Virtual PC. They will see information from the perspective of an Administrator, a high level manager, a project manager and a team member in order to appreciate how differing roles are invested with differing levels of information and functionality within the solution. The training covers all aspects of the project lifecycle from creating a project plan through to recording progress and analysing aspects of project performance.
Duration:
This course is intended to last 4 days but can be compressed into 3 days if required.
Pre-Requisites:
Attendees need some experience in using previous versions of Microsoft Project and should be Project Managers, Resource Managers or Portfolio Managers – users with an interest in more than just managing personal workload and inputs to projects. The client needs to provide computers capable of running Microsoft Virtual PC with a hard disk capacity of at least 30GB and memory of at least 2 Gigabytes in order to cope with the demands of the EPM instance.
