Microsoft Project
In addition to the budget, all projects must create and update a project schedule in Microsoft Project. While there are many scheduling apps on the market. Microsoft Project is the gold standard. The Microsoft Project Student Guide should be used for training. The schedule must include all tasks related to the project from the start of the project to final submission. Click here to access the guide on how to transfer a file. The Microsoft Project schedule should include:
- Minimum of 20 tasks, excluding Milestones
- Milestones should be clearly indicated on the project plan (duration of zero days)
- Each task must include the person responsible for completing the task (resource names)
- Use the Copy Picture function to include the schedule in the presentations. Do not take a screenshot
- Gantt chart must be displayed alongside the tasks list (fit onto one slide)
- Gantt chart must show a progress line
- Clearly state during the presentation whether the project is on-time, behind schedule, or ahead of schedule
For help planning the project, review the manual page Planning Project Scheduling & Costs.
