Plan and track projects in Microsoft Project by entering tasks, linking dependencies, assigning resources, setting a baseline and producing clear Gantt charts and progress reports.
Microsoft Project Fundamentals training in Doha, Qatar shows learners how to turn a list of work into a structured, realistic project schedule. Starting from a blank plan, participants set the project start date and working calendars, enter and outline tasks, create summary tasks and milestones, and link work with dependencies so that Microsoft Project calculates dates automatically. They learn how auto-scheduled and manually scheduled tasks behave and how to read the Gantt chart to see the critical path and the overall timeline.
The course is delivered through guided exercises on a sample project that grows across the sessions. Learners create resources, assign them to tasks, resolve overallocations, save a baseline and then enter actual progress to see variance against the plan. They also customize views, tables and filters and build reports to share with managers. The training can be arranged as an in-house program for organizations that want staff to use Microsoft Project consistently, with examples drawn from their own work and templates.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Set up a new project with a start date, calendars and working time
Enter, outline and organize tasks, summary tasks and milestones
Link tasks with dependencies, lags and leads to build a schedule
Assign work and cost resources and resolve overallocations
Save a baseline and track actual progress against it
Customize Gantt chart views, tables and filters
Create visual reports that communicate project status

Organizations across Qatar, including government entities, engineering consultancies, healthcare providers and service companies, run many internal projects alongside major capital works. Microsoft Project is widely used to plan these initiatives and report progress to management. Building practical scheduling skills among staff supports the efficient, well-governed institutions envisioned in Qatar National Vision 2030 and helps teams in Doha deliver change programs, office fit-outs and system implementations on schedule.
Join a scheduled class at our training center in Doha or attend live online. For organizations, the course can run as an in-house program at your premises or online, tailored to your sector, examples and schedule.
It is a practical Microsoft Project training course in Doha, Qatar that teaches how to create task schedules, link dependencies, assign resources, save baselines, track progress and produce reports. Learners work directly in the software throughout the course.
Project managers, coordinators, team leaders, engineers and PMO staff who plan or monitor work will find it useful, particularly anyone who currently manages schedules in spreadsheets and wants a more reliable tool.
No. The course starts with the basics of project scheduling, so learners only need general computer skills. Concepts such as dependencies, the critical path and baselines are explained before they are practiced in Microsoft Project.
Yes. It can be delivered on site at your premises or as a live online program, with exercises adapted to your sector, your project templates and a timetable that fits your staff. Please contact Leaders Training Center to plan the training.
