1. INTRODUCTION:
The executive training on management of projects helps to stay abreast of the latest project management tools, with key modules that contain work, team planners, schedules, financial analysis, and reporting. Many consultants and contractors have been facing challenges in managing resources, schedules, and reporting project progress or even expected completion. The major reason behind this is that many project managers still use traditional ways such as paperwork, excel to plan and track their projects.
MS Project Pro 2019 is a project management software designed to aid the planning and execution of the project tasks. This includes scheduling, managing resources effectively, monitoring progress, evaluating workloads pertinent to a project, and performing earns value analysis (ENA) to indicate if the project is on schedule and performing according to the planned budget.
Microsoft Project Pro 2019 is the right tool for the management of projects and has powerful features such as “work breakdown structure” (WBS). Project managers can split the project into a whole series of tasks, with all resources (work, materials, and costs) attached to each task and link them according to inter-dependencies among the tasks. Moreover, the project manager and other supporting staff can track the progress of the project by feeding each activity with the right quantity of resources used at the right time. The Microsoft Project Pro 2019 software has now been improved by Microsoft Corporation with the capability to enter actual quantities of materials, work hours, and cost. Therefore, project managers can easily report physical completion rather than planned/scheduled completion which is hypothetical.
