Overview

In this intensive one-day boot camp, you will master the dual nature of the modern Microsoft Project ecosystem. We will demystify the confusion between "Project" and "Planner" and provide hands-on training in both the classic Desktop Client (for heavy-duty scheduling) and the new Planner Premium (for collaboration and agility). You will leave with the ability to build robust schedules, manage resources effectively, and utilize the latest AI-driven features to streamline your workflow.
