- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Bonnie Biafore and welcome to Project 2013 Essential
Training. Microsoft Project is one of the most widely used project scheduling and
management applications. I'll show you how to get up to speed with this powerful
program and how to get the most out of it. I'll explain how to set up project
tasks, including work tasks, summary tasks, milestones, and recurring tasks. We'll
explore the different types of resources you use on projects and how to set up their cost
and availability.
I'll demonstrate how you link tasks together and assign resources to tasks to build a
realistic project schedule. We'll examine other project features that help you evaluate
your scheduleand resource workloads to make sure you're bringing your project in on
time and within budget. So there's no time to waste. Let's get right into Project 2013
Essential Training.
