Event Description:
Most people assume loading resources in Microsoft Project is hard—so they default to building elaborate Excel spreadsheets to manage hours, dates, and availability. But the truth is, Microsoft Project makes this easy—if you know where to look and what to set. The real challenge is that most users never learn how to precisely control when and how much a person works on a task.
This webinar is all about fixing that. You’ll learn how to set exact assignment hours and dates within a task, how those inputs interact with task and resource calendars, and how to troubleshoot when things don’t line up. No gimmicks, no guesswork—just a clear, reliable process for building resource plans that match how your projects actually run.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why won’t MS Project just do what I tell it to?” this session is your shortcut to making that happen—with fewer headaches and no more spreadsheet gymnastics.
