Effective Construction Management with Microsoft Project Professional is a training series designed for construction project managers, superintendents, and executives who need greater visibility and control over project schedules and data.

Together, these courses provide practical tools for managing complex construction schedules and making informed, data-driven project decisions using Microsoft Project Professional.
