Project4Domino Introduction

Outcomes

Participants will learn the basic skills necessary to use the Genius Project4Domino application. Students will learn how to use Project4Domino to assist them with project planning.
Project management is a complex field that can involve subjective decision making. There is not one way to teach project management, and our courseware is not designed to teach all techniques nor to cover every aspect of project management. Rather, it sets up situations and examples that will best showcase the features and functionality of the Project4Domino software.
