Which MS Project to Buy? Standard or Professional
Without a doubt – pay the extra – it is well worth the money. Resource over-allocation is much easier in the Professional Version. Also, SharePoint compatibility is included. Inactive tasks are also allowed in the PV.
PMBOK Sixth Edition
Jan 2018 will be the date when PMI – PMP Exams will be based on the new PMBOK Sixth Edition. Get planning and sit your PMP Test Exam before Jan 2018 and pass it using PMBOK Fifth Edition.
Prometric are moving Dublin office
Just to update a previous Post. The Dublin Prometric Testing Office is moving to a new location at the IFSC, Dublin 1. There’s no truth in the rumour that Southsiders require a Visa to cross the Liffey! You’re all welcome…
MS Project 2016
Well MS Project 2016 has arrived and is being used by the brave. The Reports are a definite improvement. It is my experience that sometimes people learning MS Project do not have a formal background in the principles of Project Management. And this is a disadvantage for the person learning how to get the most from using MS Project.
PMP Exam Preparation Training
Formal Accreditation for Project Managers is now commonplace in most progressive business organisations. The PMI Accreditation PMP is without doubt the most popular Accreditation for Project Managers Globally and more importantly Ireland. It’s not an easy Accreditation to achieve. It requires proof of a College Degree PLUS 4.500 hours of practical Project Management experience PLUS 35 hours of Training PLUS approximately 80 to 100 additional hours of further Study PLUS passing the official PMI Online Exam via a Prometric Inc test centre (in Dublin it’s located on Barrow Street, Dublin 4, next to the Google Building). And by the way, it’s worth the effort, you won’t regret it!
MS Project 2010 or 2013
Edit your MS Project settings to ‘New Tasks are Auto Scheduled’ while using MS Project and it will be easier to understand and it will also do more work for you with less effort.
MS Project Training
How is it that smart intelligent people find it so difficult to learn to use Microsoft Project efficiently, without some formal training. I think it is because most people think that MS Project should be as easy as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word AND when it it’s not they continue to use Project in a very basic way. Similar to driving a 5 gear car but not moving out of 1st gear.
Project 2013 Training
When I compare Project 3 to Project 2013 it really does show how much R&D Microsoft have put into this application. At last it is becoming intuitive – albeit slowly.
