Batches Starting from Saturday 19 April '25
One of the most important skills in Project Management is learning to schedule in Microsoft Project. It helps with visually communicating the scope to your team, validating the plan to achieve the project end date with the resources you have, tracking the project progress and generate forecasts on cost and finish date for your project.
If you weren’t aware of these features and capabilities in Microsoft Project then it might be the right time to invest in your own training by taking the best Microsoft Project Training Courses.
Siddharth – a PMP certified project manager has been a Microsoft Project user since 15 years and has taught 100’s of students at all levels.
Siddharth’s Microsoft Project Training courses can take you from zero to hero in no time at all!
Here is what I can offer you!
Welcome to Microsoft Project for absolute beginners
You’re about to embark on a journey through the basics of Microsoft Project capabilities that can help you effectively manage your projects.
This course focuses on the best and easiest ways to use Microsoft Project to plan, schedule, manage resources, track progress, and view and report project information.
Why to learn Microsoft Projects?
Despite the surge in new Project Management Tools available on the market, Microsoft
Project has remained on top of the project management industry for many years. Some of the features that Project Managers love most about Microsoft Project are:
- Incorporation of agile methodologies
- Critical Path Analysis and Customizable Filters
- Improved Resource and Financial Planning
- Excellent Integration with Other Microsoft Tools
- Effective project tracking and management
- Conveniently Update Ongoing Projects
Why Should You Learn from Siddharth?
Hi there, esteemed Microsoft Project enthusiasts! It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself as Siddharth Sahasrabudhe, a seasoned professional in the world of
Project Management.
I hold Project Management Professional and Agile Certified Practitioner accreditation from Project Management Institute USA.
My project management experience spans over two decades in multiple industries such
as Automotive, IT and Oil and Gas. I have been using Microsoft Project since way back in 2005, when I was a part of a team involved in process improvement project. Since then I have used this tool to effectively plan, monitor and execute complex, multi million dollar projects spanning across various geographies involving teams from various
different locations.
I have also set-up the enterprise version of Microsoft Project applications for portfolio
management enabling organization to effectively plan, prioritize and manage project
and portfolio investments.
Why My Microsoft Project Training Courses Stand Out?
In the world of Project Management, mastering tools like Microsoft Project is pivotal. But with a plethora of Microsoft Project Training Courses available, what sets mine apart?
Here’s why:
1. Over Two Decades of project management experience: Being PMP and ACP certified isn’t just a title I wear. It’s a testament to my deep expertise and unwavering dedication to the field.
2. A Repository of Knowledge: With over 15 years of hands on experience in using Microsoft Project tool, my knowledge in Microsoft Project is vast and varied. Whether you’re a beginner or a experienced project manager, this course is designed to cater to wider range of audience.
3. Emphasis on LIVE CLASSES: All my learning resources are in the form of LIVE interactions. No on-demand videos. The LIVE classes will help you to ask questions and resolve the doubts on the spot. No more waiting.
4. Limited Batch Size: I am extremely conscious about the quality of training and level of attention I give to my students. Small batch size allows me to maintain that quality and give personalized learning experience to every participant.
5. Customized Training Solutions: I recognize that every learner has unique needs. That’s why I offer tailored Microsoft Project Training solutions, ensuring that every student extracts the maximum value from the course.
6. Beyond Just Training: Sometimes, what you need goes beyond conventional training. My coaching and mentoring services are designed to provide guidance at every step, ensuring you’re equipped to tackle even the most complex project challenges. Post training session, you can ask me your doubts through mail, connect with me on phone
and I will do my best to solve your doubt.
7. Endorsed by the Best: When top-tier organizations entrust their training needs to me, it’s a clear indicator of the quality and value I bring to the table.
