As you may know, the PMBOK guide does not prescribe the steps in using software for creating schedules.  But, one day I was surfing around on Microsoft’s templates page and found an interesting easy-to-understand template called “Project Management Quick Guide” that steps you through how to create a project schedule using Microsoft Project in relation to the 5 Process Groups of Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. I found this to be a pretty handy little guide.  So, I thought that I would walk you through the guide.

In this podcast I cover:

· What the purpose and definition is of each process group.
· What schedule activities should be done in conjunction with each process group.
· And the steps to do those activities using Microsoft Project 2000 or later.

Before listening to the podcast, you may want to download a copy of the Project Management Quick Reference Guide template from the Microsoft Office Templates website.

Regards,
Ron
