Reliable project planning not only takes into account deadlines, but also the availability of resources and the available budget. If capacities or costs are taken into account too late, overloads, postponements or budget overruns can quickly occur.

Seminar objective

In this compact seminar, you will learn how to correctly define and allocate labor, material and cost resources in Microsoft Project. You will recognize overloads at an early stage, carry out a resource comparison and plan project costs in a structured manner based on cost rates and budgets.

This creates a project plan that combines deadlines, resources and costs and enables you to manage your projects realistically.

Real projects/project ideas were used as examples for all methods.

I particularly liked the trainer's experience, which meant that many specific questions could be answered. The trainer had a very pleasant working atmosphere and was flexible. The work materials provided were very comprehensive.

Slide
Nuria Pino | Henkel AG & Co. KGaA

The space for discussion about real experiences and examples was particularly valuable, making the theory much more tangible. The openness to accept feedback and adapt the methodology accordingly to make it even more helpful for the team was also positive.

Slide
Michael Breuning | Dürr Group Services GmbH

The clear structure that a moderator can introduce within a meeting was particularly helpful. The moderation toolbox presented and the distinction between presentation and moderation were very informative. It also became clear that the moderator is responsible for the process and not the content and how important it is to actively involve the participants.

Slide
Julian Peters | Zeppelin Power Systems GmbH

The content of the seminar was very relevant and practical. The exchange between the participants and with the trainer was particularly enriching. The exercises were goal-oriented and the trainer impressed with his motivation, commitment and pleasant, motivating manner.
