Course Overview

During this 3-day hands-on course you learn how to configure and maintain Microsoft Project Online, Microsoft Project Server 2016 and 2013, using Project Pro, Project Web App interface as well as SharePoint Central Administration. You learn how to perform common Office 365 tasks, SharePoint administrative tasks, and how to manage the integration points between PWA and SharePoint, how to configure demand management, project governance, and project collaboration sites, how to build a workflow, and how to use built-in reporting features.
