October 2019 Professional Development Day: Introduction to Scheduling in MS Project (8 PDU's)
Presented by Cindy Lewis, PMP, PMI-SI
WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Don’t just learn how to click, learn how to manage projects! Cindy Lewis has over 20 years of experience in this software and is the author of Microsoft Project 2019 Step-by-Step
Technology Tips, Being Accessible, Making Better Decisions
In this session you will learn about some ways to improve your use of software you probably use every day. These tips will help you be more efficient and even make better decisions with the information you have. With the trend towards subscription based products, we don’t always have time to learn about new features, new programs, or new enhancements. It is also important to make our data more accessible and inclusive for everyone. This session will focus on tips around PowerPoint, Word, Microsoft Project/Project Online, Office 365, and Windows 10. Tips from the audience will be welcome as well.
Gain insight into the how and why of each feature for business from an awarded Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional (MVP).
