Event Description:
Sponsored by: PPM Works, Inc. and Microsoft Northeast
Join the Boston Chapter of MPUG for our next meeting on Wednesday December 2, 2015 where the topic will be “Old Dogs, New Dogs: Microsoft Project Tips and Tricks”. This interactive presentation and discussion will be delivered by George Borhegyi, MCITP, MCTS, MCPS, MCP at our regular meeting location: Constant Contact in Waltham, MA.
Project, probably more than any other tool from Microsoft, is a software product with not only a large set of features (and growing) but also many pleasant surprises for users to discover. The longer you work with the product, the more of these you will find – though not always right when you want them. We’ll go over many of these features, but also share some of the best and most interesting from the audience. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!
Topics Include:
• Making The Most Of Microsoft Project Features
• George’s Top Tips
• Top 3 Little Known Features
