Abstract:
This course will review the definition of project management as it relates to the needs of a simulation center. I will present a custom excel document created for use at simulation centers. I will review the content and set-up of the template, including the integration of event timelines and tasks. I will demo how the form auto updates all tasks with correct dates for your timeline and identifies which tasks are not started, in progress, completed, overdue and NA. All participants will be able to download the document and be given the password to edit all tasks and timeline dates as appropriate for their sim staff needs. As a group, we will practice updating the document, locking the cells, and saving with a new password. I will also demo the VBA codes written to auto generate an outlook email to efficiently communicate planning updates to the team and to transfer accreditation event tracking data to a destination file saved elsewhere in your department shared drive. Learners will be shown how to remove or edit the code as needed for their unique needs.
