LINKING AND LOGIC IN MS PROJECT
While tracking a construction job with MS Project, have you ever had the schedule adjust in unexpected ways? This course focuses on using logic in MS Project. If we want our schedules to be useful beyond the first day of a job, we need to understand how the schedule will adjust once we start making changes. We will also address how to include submittal items on the schedule. This course assumes the user will be familiar with the MS Project environment and standard computer skills - we will not review how to open or save files.
