Completing projects by the required deadline is a challenge for most project managers.
The deadline is often put in jeopardy at the very beginning of the assignment because you are spinning your wheels getting the project organized and assignments made to the right team member. This is like throwing money down the drain.
In contrast, you can put money in your pocket if you learn to use the project management features of Microsoft Outlook to their fullest extent.
A smart user of Microsoft Outlook knows it can be used almost like a programming language: if you know what you want to do in Outlook, you can probably find a way to make it respond and do exactly that.
In addition to the Assign Tasks feature, in this webinar you will learn how to customize the Tasks Folder for prioritizing and productivity, overcoming hurdles that delay the completion of tasks and projects while creating a methodical way to meet deadlines.
This webinar instruction helps project professionals launch, track, and manage projects with crystal clear deadlines and built-in checkpoints. The instruction highlights little used but powerful Microsoft Outlook features and documents the benefits of efficiently using them to keep projects moving forward to successful conclusions. By implementing the techniques, your project team will be better equipped for the challenges of the 'do more with less' business environment of the 21st century.
This instruction makes you efficient, effective and puts you in an elite circle of project managers.
