Program Overview
Even well-planned projects can fail when timelines and dependencies are managed informally. Without a scheduling tool that provides visibility and control, teams struggle with resource conflicts, unclear critical paths, and weak progress tracking.

The focus is practical: participants learn how to apply Microsoft Project to real project environments and improve planning accuracy, reporting, and control.
