Are you going to the training center to give your money for Microsoft Project training and lose 3 working days? Find the best use for money and time! I publish videos and materials of the standard 3-day Microsoft Project 2010/2013 training course, which in the corporate version costs about 200,000 rubles. More precisely, it cost, because. now it's free including sample files and a course book, as well (a methodological guide to the video course and answers to questions are available after registration).
Why such an incredible gift? This is a sponsorship program, we are assisted by manufacturers of industry solutions for Microsoft Project such as Turbo Planner (capstroy, PIR / R&D and IT). We are sure that our free product is better than the old courses, if only because even in the abbreviated form on YouTube has been used by 400,000 project managers , popularity cannot be unrelated to quality. Now we are publishing a complete analogue of the most expensive MS Project course and in a more effective form of e-learning through videos, documentation, example files and answers through lesson-specific forums and an ultra-accessible block with a face-to-face trainer.
You can use our video courses directly from the embedded videos below, or through course "playlist" on YouTube. The YouTube playlist is more convenient in terms of transitions between lessons, we also recommend that you subscribe to our YouTube channel, but we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the annotations to the lessons in any case, because in addition to descriptions, there are links to methodological manuals, examples and forums for answering questions.
The training course proposed below will be supplemented and improved based on Community feedback. To get instant access to new training materials on MS Project and project management, we recommend joining our Community of Professionals in Project Management on Facebook , in which more than 3,000 project managers participate. Also in this community you can get answers on project management methodology from well-known project management professionals.
Important! Immediately after the publication of this course, our Web server experienced an extreme load from those who want to read the lessons. We even had to replace the equipment for the site, so we recommend subscribe to our YouTube channel to get access to our video tutorials if our portal is overloaded with people. You can also get a digest from YouTube with our new video tutorials on industry-specific project management methodologies that we release all the time.

Quick introduction to Microsoft Project 2013 and Visual Resource Optimizer in half an hour
As I already noted, this is a standard and complete 3-day course on Microsoft Project. The most expensive and most massive MS Project educational product on the market, on which the MS Project training business was previously built, is now being given to you for free. However, the de facto standard training program has the disadvantages of not including a quick product review. An analysis of our statistics on YouTube showed that out of 300,000 project managers who have watched our films, about 70% prefer to study differently than the coaches impose on them, namely, first go through a quick introductory course in about 30 minutes, and then study selectively those places in MS Project that they need to work.
For this quick introduction, this free MS Project in 1 Day tutorial is recommended if you choose the MS Project selective deepening approach described above.
I recorded a new version of the mega-popular MS Project introductory course, including the "Visual Resource Optimizer" in it, because. the current level of requirements for the qualification of project managers has increased since 2007 and now resource management is included in the mandatory area of competence.
1. Introduction to the project management methodology based on the ISO 21500 standard and a complete overview of the MS Project 2013 interface
A. Concept of the project
B. General principles of project management
C. The main stages of working with the project
D. Project management automation tools
E. Overview of Microsoft Project 2013
I included in this block the first in the CIS introduction to the project management methodology based on the ISO 21500 standard, explaining the difference between the concept of a project according to the ISO methodology and PMI. The course focuses on the limits of applicability of standard methods and from what point it is necessary to use industry solutions. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the scheduler as a success of implementation. This introduction turned out to be unique in its way in its emphasis on the limits of applicability and risks from the introduction of standard methodologies, which is usually hushed up by trainers. Judging by the number of "endorsements" on YouTube, the community found this introduction to modern project management methodology very effective. To download the Russian version of the international standard ISO 21500 for Project Management use this link.
The standard course on MS Project in the most expensive 3-day version, in my opinion, has a methodological error. The fact is that trainers tell how the MS Project interface works, ignoring the fact that they overload beginners with redundant information. As I already noted, the "quick introductions" with which we started the course are more effective. However, we specifically follow the standard curriculum so that there are no blocks from the standard curriculum that are not covered by our free courses.
Below is a complete overview of all menus and all options of Microsoft Project 2013. In fact, this block is more useful for experienced users, because. probably many were tormented by the question "what is this button?". Here it is told about all the buttons and what they do. However, even listing MS Project functionality took one hour. If you are a beginner, it might be worth skipping this block. "overload" from the abundance of information is possible, go further through the program, and then return to this lesson.
2.Creating a new project and a quick introduction to network planning
A. Creating a new project from scratch and based on a template
B.Setting project parameters
C. Project Timeline
D. Top-down planning
A standard commercial MS Project course usually starts with creating projects. However, trainers are silent about the limitations of MS Project functionality in the practical applicability of templates, as well as the features of the Excel-like functions that Microsoft introduced into the product to increase its sales. I highlight in this block the risks from the rash implementation of MS Project "first line of use" functions, which are designed largely by sellers, and not by methodologists.
If you don't want to know why MS Project templates are rarely implemented, you can scroll to the beginning of the video, there is a link for this. If you are interested in how the templating system works in other products and .
3. Working with tasks as part of the project
A. Concept of the task
B.Creating, modifying, deleting tasks
C. Establishing links between tasks. Team Respect Connections
D. Create a task hierarchy
E. Task parameters (duration, restrictions, method of calculating labor costs, etc.)
F. Special task types (recurring tasks, milestones, interrupted tasks)
G. Overview of the most common situations associated with changing job parameters
This video contains a recording of a block of the standard commercial course on MS Project 2013 with coverage of all task options in the project. In contrast to the mechanical presentation of options by trainers, the course focuses on those options that are actually used, and also shows how MS Project automatically switches restrictions on tasks, which is a surprise for many users.
As practice shows, when working with project tasks, exotic connection parameters are very rarely needed, but the methodology for creating Hierarchical Work Structures (WBS) is much more important. I made a video tutorial that highlights the creation of work structures from a methodological point of view, ignoring rare options. If methodology is more important to you, and not sorting through all the options as in the previous lesson, then you can see this version of the story on how the work structures are made.
4.Resource and budget planning
A. Types of resources
B. Setting up project and resource calendars
C. Resource Assignment. Planning "from resources" and "from works"
D. Dealing with resource costs
This video tutorial contains at its beginning a small repetition about network planning, because. many people know how to operate with tasks, but do not know how to use MS Project resources. The lesson is designed so that you can watch it in isolation from others. This tutorial shows the subtle effects of resource management options on MS Project tasks. Some of the questions are taken out in the MS Project reporting lesson below, where it is shown how, by manipulating resources and new MS Project 2013 reports, to build Cash Flow, including balances and turnovers in periods.
The tutorial video mentions rationing for industrial and construction projects, if you are leading projects of this type, there is a separate lesson for you, taking into account special tools.
5. Analysis and optimization of the project
a. Resource overload and its elimination. Automatic resource leveling feature
b.Path of tasks
c.Team Planner resource optimizer
d. Project budget analysis
e. Project schedule analysis. Critical path method.
f. Risk analysis
g.Project optimization
We have included an overview of the resource optimizer and leveling in the basic knowledge, taking into account modern trends. Some of the project analysis questions are discussed in the reporting section below. In this section, another lesson on the Critical Path will be added.
