Those with responsibility for building and maintaining project plans.

This course is the first in a series of two courses designed for individuals who will use Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007 as a tool to assist them in managing projects. The topics in this course cover the critical skills necessary to create and modify a project plan file that contains tasks, resources, and resource assignments.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

· create a project plan file and enter task information.

· create a work breakdown structure by organising tasks and setting task relationships.
