Also, the variety of reporting in recent versions of this software has increased its popularity. In this course, while avoiding additional content and without use or little use, important and necessary and at the same time practical content that is currently used in most projects and is approved by project managers, is provided. Due to his knowledge of the correct and incorrect methods of updating the schedule and preparing progress reports, the instructor has taught the method of working with the software in a practical way.

Successful implementation of all industrial and construction projects with the approved budget and schedule and within the defined range, requires a precise and systematic approach in the field of project management as well as project planning and control. Today, in the competitive environment between contractors, the role of project planning and control to better implement projects and also to satisfy key project stakeholders, has become increasingly important.

Microsoft Project software is one of the Office suite software that is used for project planning and control principles. User-friendly environment, easy learning, the ability to define solar dates and undo, are the advantages of this software. Also, the variety of reporting in recent versions of this software has increased its popularity.
