Project 2007 EPM Immersion

This course is designed to introduce users to the full range of functionality supported by Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 & Microsoft Project Professional 2007, the latest EPM solution 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.

Course Pricing:

Pricing - £800.00 per person attending this 4 day course, we reccomend that a minimum of 2 people from your organisation attend this training. Ask us about discounts for larger groups. Prices exclude VAT at the prevailing rate. 

Course Location:

Location - given the specialist nature of Project Server 2007 this course is typically delivered "in-house" - we can deliver this course using our own Image of the Project Server 2007 EPM solution to be run on Virtual PC.

Course 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.
