5 Modules to MS Project Professional Mastery

Click through our 5 module steps to see how our hands-on curriculum takes you from core fundamentals to advanced project controls.

Module 1: Learn Project Scheduling Fundamentals

Configure project calendars, establish Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), and build dynamic task relationships.

WBS & Task Hierarchies

Group tasks into logical summary phases, create milestones, set task modes (Auto vs. Manual), and manage task duration estimates.

Dependencies & Lead/Lag

Apply Finish-to-Start (FS), Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF), and Start-to-Finish (SF) links along with lead and lag timing.

Calendars & Deadlines

Define Standard, 24-Hour, and Night Shift base calendars, assign custom working days, holidays, and hard constraints.

Module 2: Resource Allocation & Cost Management

Assign work, material, and cost resources while eliminating overallocations with resource leveling techniques.

  • Resource Sheet Configuration: Create Work (Human/Equipment), Material (Consumables), and Cost (Fixed fees) resources with standard and overtime pay rates.
  • Resolving Overallocations: Utilize the Resource Usage view and perform automated or manual Resource Leveling without disrupting project finish dates.
  • Cost Baselining: Set fixed costs, cost accrual methods (Start, Prorated, End), and calculate total project cost baselines.

Module 3: Schedule Tracking & Earned Value Analysis

Capture baselines, update actual work progress, perform Critical Path Method (CPM) checks, and measure EVM indicators.

Critical Path Method (CPM) & Total Float
Multiple Baselines (Up to 11 Baselines)
Variance Analysis (Duration, Cost & Work)
Earned Value (PV, EV, AC, CPI, SPI)

Module 4: Advanced Reporting & Microsoft 365 Integration

Transform schedule data into executive graphical dashboards and integrate with Excel, SharePoint, and Power BI.

Reporting Capabilities:

  • Dashboard Reports: Burndown, Cash Flow, Resource Overview
  • Visual Reports: Export directly to Excel PivotTables & Visio
  • Custom Views: Custom Tables, Filters, Groups, and Highlight Rules

Skill Weighting & Focus Area Breakdown:

Schedule Creation & Logic 30%
Resource & Cost Management 25%
Tracking, Baselines & EVM 25%
Reporting & Custom Views 20%
