Assignment 1: Application: Using Microsoft Project
Starting a project without a plan is like going on a road trip without any directions. You may progress along the way, but you might not end up at your desired destination. A project plan provides basic information that guides the execution and control of the project. At its most fundamental level, a project plan will describe the "who, what, when, and why" of a project. Microsoft Project is one of the most widely used project planning tools. The ability to understand and create project plans in Microsoft Project enables a project manager to effectively plan and manage project implementations.
In this Assignment, you generate a project plan using Microsoft Project.
To prepare:
• Review the information in this week's Learning Resources on using Microsoft Project.
• Consider how to efficiently schedule tasks in a project plan.
• Think about how you should sequence tasks that have dependencies.
