Project Management Tools

Catalog description

This course introduces students to three tools used in managing projects: Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Planner, and Microsoft Project. Students examine the criteria for selecting the right project management tool for task management, work management, and project management. Students learn how to use these tools for communicating and collaborating with project team members and stakeholders; planning a project, adding project tasks, assigning resources and costs; building a project schedule, moving tasks to different phases, tracking project progress, and properly closing out a project. Students will also gain an understanding of how to share project information across applications using dashboards and reports. In addition, students will briefly explore cloud-based options as alternative project management tools.
