To accurately analyze project variance, you must save a baseline in your project before you begin entering task progress. However, do you actually know what information is saved in a baseline for tasks, resources, and assignments? And are you aware of the mistakes you can make that can invalidate your baseline and your variance data? In this 30-minute webinar, we will teach go into great depth to  show you everything that you need to know about using baselines in Microsoft Project, including what data is saved in a baseline, best practices for using baselines, and warnings about bad practices with baselines.

A master project is a single project that consists of other projects which are inserted as subprojects. Master projects are useful for analyzing a group of related projects, such as all projects in a program. In this 30-minute webinar, we will introduce you to the topic of master projects and show you two different methods for creating a master project. We will demonstrate how to create cross- project dependencies, show you how schedule changes in a predecessor project affects successor projects, and show you how to display the critical path in a master project.

There are plenty of organizations out there that use Microsoft Project stand alone to manage and control their projects. When we do not have a unified platform such as Project Online (or Project Server) to manage our projects, how do we ensure that the best practices are being used by all my project managers? In this 30-minute webinar, we will discuss how to create and configure a standard  schedule that can be propagated and shared in order to be used by all project managers in our company.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) reports that almost three-quarters (71%) of organizations report using Agile approaches sometimes, often, or always. Per Capterra, a Gartner company that aims to help businesses find the right software solutions, Microsoft Project holds steady as the most popular Project Portfolio Management (PPM) software on the market and is known as a staple of enterprise-level project management. Given these two facts, Project Leaders must care about embracing hybrid tools and processes because they cannot confront the range of needs presented by digital transformation with a single, conventional mode of PPM.
