Microsoft Project for the Web Tips and Tricks

Microsoft Project for the Web first began to rollout in April of 2020, this application is NOT the same thing as Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project Online or Microsoft Project Server.
*Reminder* This application is web-based and can only be used with an internet connection. Unlike Microsoft Project that has been around since 1984, this application is still new and new features are rolled out continuously, but is not an enterprise tool due to limitations in functionality and support of large projects. Hopefully, it will continue to improve but until it has the core features required for an enterprise PMO I recommend using Microsoft Project Desktop, Project Online or Project Server.

Why My Microsoft Project Training Courses Stand Out?

In the world of Project Management, mastering tools like Microsoft Project is pivotal. But with a plethora of Microsoft Project Training Courses available, what sets mine apart? Here’s why:

  1. Two Decades of MVP Recognition: Being honored as a Microsoft Project MVP for 20 consecutive years isn’t just a title I wear. It’s a testament to my deep expertise and unwavering dedication to the field.
  2. A Repository of Knowledge: With over 20 books to my name, my knowledge in Microsoft Project is vast and varied. Whether you’re an avid reader or a visual learner, I’ve got resources ranging from books to YouTube tutorials to cater to your learning style.
  3. Customized Training Solutions: I recognize that every organization has unique needs. That’s why I offer tailored Microsoft Project Training solutions, ensuring that every student extracts the maximum value from the course.
  4. Beyond Just Training: Sometimes, what you need goes beyond conventional training. My coaching and mentoring services are designed to provide guidance at every step, ensuring you’re equipped to tackle even the most complex project challenges.
  5. A Pillar in the Community: My active role in the Microsoft Project community is a testament to my commitment. I’m not just a trainer; I’m a mentor, guide, and a trusted expert for many.
  6. Endorsed by the Best: When top-tier organizations entrust their training needs to me, it’s a clear indicator of the quality and value I bring to the table.
