It first discusses the Help section where you can get answers and tutorials for any question that comes up. This chapter also discusses creating a Workspace, using Toolbars, Ribbons, and the Status Bar.   Continue on as you learn how to use Touch, Task basics, and Project Options. By now you will have become proficient with Project 2016. The chapters that follow lead learners through all the various aspects of managing a project.    These more advanced topics carry you through Tracking Costs, Tracking the Project, Budgeting, and Reporting.   Each topic is explained with its own professional video that shows you in detail how to properly use the function. Nine hours of insightful video give you an in-depth understanding of each topic.    63 individual lessons are included.
