Overview/Description
As a project gets underway, project managers need to monitor task progress and resource usage to address unexpected events. Performance metrics should be in place to provide snapshots of a project's progress, enabling project managers to be proactive in addressing areas of concern. They also need to confirm that both the administrative and contract closing procedures are implemented to ensure the proper storage or disposal of project information. This course covers how Office Project 2007 and Office Project Web Access 2007 – part of Project Server 2007 – facilitate the monitoring and tracking of tasks, the application of performance metrics by way of status and task reports, and the project closing procedures. This course is one of a series in the SkillSoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Technology Specialist (TS): Microsoft Office Project Server 2007: Managing Projects 70-633 exam. Passing this exam will earn the learner the MCTS: Enterprise Project Management with Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 certification. In turn, this certification counts as a credit toward the MCITP: Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Enterprise Project Management with Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 certification.
