The way we manage projects has progressed to include approaches for both plan-driven projects with defined scope, and adaptive projects where the scope can evolve along the way.

Microsoft Project can now support both approaches.

As a matter of fact it is so versatile that it can support hybrid projects that use plan-driven and adaptive projects within the same project file.

Here at Projex Academy, this has not escaped our attention, and I’ve been hard at work creating a brand-new stand alone masterclass called Microsoft Project for Scrum, Kanban, and Hybrid projects.

It is due to be released later this month and shows you exactly how to set up an adaptive project using sprints, introduce some of the terminology and methods used to plan and track projects, how to use tables, filters and groups to focus on specific project aspects, and focus on the special reports specifically designed for sprints projects.

Right now, I am super excited to announce that I am just two weeks away from launching this brand new free video-based training master class.

Those clever folks at Microsoft have made it even easier to own and use the latest Microsoft project that includes the above changes by paying a small monthly subscription (just like I do!)

So whether you are an experienced Microsoft project user or a newbie, then this 14 video module master class is just what you’ve been waiting for …

Just think, you could be mastering the use Microsoft project for your scrum, Kanban, or hybrid project endeavour’s – in less than five hours from now.

But it gets better, Projex Academy’s brand new Microsoft project for scrum Kanban and hybrid projects, does not just include step by step videos on using the planning tool itself, but within each module’s video lesson, I provide you with a detailed presentation on the methods techniques and tools for becoming proficient at managing your own adaptive, incremental, and iterative projects.
