Course Description
Microsoft Project 2003 Standard enables you to create and manage your projects in a standalone desktop environment. But to analyze projects, optimize resources, and prioritize work in a way that meets an organization's overall business objectives, you need to use a more encompassing project management solution. In this course, you will use Microsoft Project Professional 2003 to create, coordinate, and communicate project information in a consistent and efficient manner within the framework of an Enterprise Project Management (EPM) environment.
