Microsoft Project for the Web

With so many offerings in the Microsoft software for projects workspace it can be confusing to know which tools to purchase and which tools to use for the job.

Project for the Web, a tool developed on Microsoft’s Power Platform to provide a web hosted Project management tool for those not requiring the full functionality of Microsoft Project Desktop software but requiring something more than a simple task planner.

PLEASE NOTE – Separate courses for Microsoft Project ’Desktop’ software (QAPRINTC and QAPRADVC) are available as part of QA’s ongoing course syllabus. A follow-on course for Project Online looking at the use of Plan 3 and Plan 5 licenses and Project Online features is currently in development.

Our Microsoft Project for the Web course is designed to help learn the skills to maximise Project for the Web (Plan 1) with a module to draw comparison with Planner and To Do’, delegates will then go on to embrace the everyday features of this ‘out of the box’ intuitive tool as well as the full features that can be harnessed with clever knowledge of the Microsoft suite of applications.
