Microsoft Project 2016 Real World Scheduling is called "real world" because the author wrote it drawing upon his 30+ years of experience consulting with contractors to help them meet their construction scheduling software needs. He knows how contractors use scheduling software, what's important to them - and what is not! This manual has been tested and retested in both the classroom and the company training room. It will guide you thru some of the quirks of MS Project 2016 as well as teach you how use the software the way contractors use it. Other software manuals are often hundreds of pages long filled with dense text that wastes your time trying to cover every corner and nuance of the software - ultimately leaving readers more confused than before they started. (This manual can easily be used with the MS Project 2013 and 2010 software.) Microsoft Project 2016 Real World Scheduling assumes that the reader has no previous exposure to the software and takes the reader through the process of creating a schedule covering the same features that a contractor would include on their typical schedule. This includes creating and saving the schedule, covering numerous formatting options to customize the look of the schedule, working with calendars including 50% and 100% weather calendars, then activity coding the schedule to organize the tasks using both Custom Task Groups and Summary Tasks. Different views of the schedule are explored and from there the schedule is resource loaded and cost loaded, including a real world analysis of an over-allocation of resources. The schedule is then Baselined and updated covering all possible update scenarios that may actually occur.With this manual and a few hours of your time, you will be ready to effectively use MS Project 2016 on a real project.

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. This text is a comprehensive, stand alone reference for project management scheduling. It features a unique combination of principles/fundamentals of scheduling and project management along with practical applications and tutorials of the 4 most common scheduling software programs–Microsoft Project, Primavera Project Planner (P3), SureTrak, P6 Project Manager and Contractor. Having scheduling information and software instructions in one book obviates the need for two texts, and the exercises and examples in the scheduling portion are tied to the same exercises in the software portions.
