Course objectives

On completion of this introductory course you will feel confident creating and updating projects in Powerproject. You will learn to create a logic linked plan and recognise the critical path and float. You will understand how to structure projects, set up code libraries, update progress and print out the project with all necessary reporting.

This is a two-day course designed for beginners who are new to Powerproject. The course runs at a pace which allows time for practical exercises and questions.

If you are unable to take the two day course over consecutive days, there is also an option of covering the topics over two separate one-day courses. If taken as separate courses, the first day focuses on project creation and set up, and the second day covers reporting and progressing your project.
