This is Video No. 2 in this online course focused on learning how to use MS Project. This video discusses and demonstrates the process used to create a Work Breakdown Structure. I also review the fundamentals discussed in the previous Video No.1.

Video 1 • MS PROJECT THE COURSE,...
I’m Tom Stephenson a professor of Construction management and I’ve taught MS Project to both students and professional for many years. In this course I plan to build on a sample project that we can create together. Every video will add more tools to your repertoire so that you will be able to create baseline schedules, update and recover them. You will also be able to add and track changes, cost, and productivity rates so that you can be a successful project manager.
I plan to add one video per week and you can follow along by subscribing and clicking the notification icon. I will provide google drive links in the description for start point files as we progress in the course. If there is a specific topic you are after take a look at my other MS Project playlists on my channel.
