Connect resources, work and reporting
Project 2 covers resource assignment, work, units and duration, together with views, fields, filters and report templates. The useful question is how a change to an assignment affects the plan and its presentation.
Practise with a fictional resource list and review the assumptions behind availability. Check that a report answers the intended question rather than simply displaying every field. Compare the course prerequisites with your ability to build and edit a basic project schedule.
