Project Data Management and Performance with MS Project 2007

Course details

Project managers often share Project 2007 data with other applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Outlook. When importing and exporting information in this way, the information must first be sorted, filtered, and grouped to customize the information's appearance. Information also needs to be timely actual work performed, actual start and finish dates, and actual costs must all be updated.

It also discusses creating and sharing resource pools in a multi-project environment, how to manage the efficient use of limited resources to keep multiple projects on schedule, and how to create task dependencies across multiple projects.
