Mastering Microsoft Project

This course is specially designed for civil engineers who want to master Microsoft Project for construction planning and control. You will learn how to create and manage a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), allocate and optimize resources, track project performance, and apply Earned Value Management (EVM) to measure cost and schedule efficiency.

Project scheduling & tracking progress

Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis

Baseline creation & comparison

Reporting & dashboards in MS Project

Resource leveling & optimization

• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Learn how to break down complex projects into manageable tasks, ensuring clarity in scope and deliverables.

Resource Management: Understand how to assign and optimize manpower, materials, and equipment to maximize efficiency and avoid project delays.

Earned Value Management (EVM): Gain hands-on expertise in tracking project performance by integrating scope, schedule, and cost for accurate forecasting.

Project Scheduling: Create Gantt charts, milestones, dependencies, and critical paths to keep projects on track.

Progress Tracking & Reporting: Monitor actual vs. planned progress, generate professional reports, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.

With a practical, step-by-step approach, this course will help you plan, monitor, and deliver construction projects effectively using MS Project. You will gain the skills to manage real-time challenges such as delays, resource overallocation, and cost control in civil engineering projects.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently use Microsoft Project as a complete project management tool for civil works - from scheduling to billing, tracking progress, and ensuring successful project delivery.
