Mastering Microsoft Excel for Project Management: Controlling, Tracking, and Reporting

It’s been said that project management is 90 percent communication – and it can certainly feel that way when you consider all the people you have to communicate with daily. Did you know that you can use Microsoft Excel to help you communicate more effectively, define your project charter, build out the project scope, and even the work breakdown structure? You sure can!

It’s paramount that project managers work with the project team to plan and define the project scope. Then, when the team is executing the project work, the project manager needs to monitor and control the work. Part of monitoring and controlling is to record what’s happening in the project. Based on this work performance data, you’ll process the project’s successes (and possibly failures) and report to the project stakeholders accordingly.

Microsoft Excel can help you with so much of that! In this course, we’ll explore many things that Microsoft Excel can do for project management. We’ll dive into formatting, charting, conditional formatting, and building a custom dashboard and report. If you don’t have more advanced project management software, that’s okay; you can do much of that business in Microsoft Excel.

This course is worth five (5) Professional Development Units with the Project Management Institute. Take this course at your leisure, learn more about Microsoft Excel and project management, keep your PMI certification, and most importantly, manage your projects with better control and communication.

  • Design reports for your stakeholders

  • Create a dashboard with some common project management requirements

  • Improve project communications with charts

It is a good match for me. I am very knowledgeable about Excel but not Project Management so I am looking forward to being taught how to create the documents rather than trying to figure it out on my own.

Some videos could be combined instead of having separate videos for an intro.

With the right expectations this might be a good training. Even for me as a not native english speaker it was easy to follow and to understand. Sadly i was quite skilled with excel already, so for me the value of the training only started around lecture 44. All before that was an excel training with some comments regarding project managment which gave me little profit.
