Make sure you mention Resources Leveling and it's importance.
Good Luck Rafael.
I'd stay away from tasks and resources. It's too easy and it's what everyone will do. Why don't you do something like how to do risk management in MS Project?
Perhaps you could provide some basics on MS Project Server and correlate it to managing international complex projects. 25 minutes go by very fast.Good luck!

Include Gantt Chart if time permits.
Baselining
Reporting and Dashboards.
In place of "Fundamentals of MS projects" better change topic "Fundamentals of Scheduling" this will be more generic. You can use MS Project as tool.

Some good feedback so far. On a technical point, I'd also cover the different views such as the very useful Resource View. On a practical point, I'd cover how you'd use the project plan once it its created, to assist you with managing the project (it's surprising how many PMs have a create-and-forget approach to planning). And on a learning point, I'd make sure they appreciate that it is a large and powerful software tool that takes quite a while to learn, and then point them towards some training sources where they can learn more about it.

Strongly agree. I have also seen several times PM that use MS Project as a planning tool and omit its power to track the project - thus, baselining, leveling, reporting, etc.
So you may consider using most of time explaining that MS Project is something else than just a tool to get a Gantt chart! Nov 01, 2016 10:56 AM
