Managing Projects Using MS Project 2016

Are you managing your projects effectively?
Do you lack insight into your project's plan and progress information?
Are you managing your resources and budgets efficiently?
Is it difficult for you to create and update your MS Project schedule?

Managing projects effectively requires understanding project needs and managing time, cost, and resource constraints to deliver quality products / services that are on-time and within budget. It is an ongoing challenge for project managers to balance the project scope, cost, time, and resources effectively.

Microsoft Project, a popular project management tool, provides the capability to view, analyze, and manage these four elements concurrently. It is used to schedule and track project activities as well as to communicate project status.
