Microsoft Project 2019 - Level 1 (AA-MS-Prjct-19-L1)

This course covers the critical knowledge and skills a project manager needs to create a project plan with Project during the planning phase of a project. In other words, if your supervisor assigns you to lead a project, this course will enable you to draft a project plan with Project and share it with your supervisor (and others) for review and approval.

Note: This course is for anyone who has Project on the desktop, regardless of whether they purchased an "on-premise" edition or subscribed to a "cloud-based" (online) edition. Most project managers and project team members use the desktop application, so that is the main focus of this course. The main features of the online app are presented in an appendix.
