Microsoft Project 2010 Best Practice Workshop Consolidates Project Management

An Acumen EPM Microsoft Project 2010 Health Check, Best Practice Workshop and programme of one to one and closed class MCTS 77-178 Microsoft Project 2010 Managing Projects CATALYST recently consolidated a client’s planning, tracking and resource management for their Portfolio, Programme and Project Office (P3O).  

Previously the project managers had used incompatible management tools, some using Excel, some paper diaries and some post-it notes with a few already using Microsoft Project.  The recommendations from the Microsoft Project Health Check identified considerable gains in P3O efficiency by a uniform adoption of a consistent project management practice - with Microsoft Project 2010 being the best option.

By using a Microsoft Project 2010 Best Practice Workshop in conjunction with one-to-one and closed class MCTS 77-178 Microsoft Project 2010 Managing Projects CATALYST all P3O team members received the skills appropriate to their role and the client had an adoption of 100% usage.  Benefits included resource usage increasing  from 65% to 94% by implementing a resource pool and project governance and reporting being significantly enhanced by effective project planning, baseline and tracking.
