The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certifications
enable professionals to target specific technologies and distinguish
themselves by demonstrating in-depth knowledge and expertise in
their specialized technologies. More than a product certification,
the new Office Project 2007 certification family is designed
specifically to help project managers apply the leading project
management best practices and methodologies as established by the
Project Management Institute (PMI), resulting in better project
outcomes, greater efficiency, and optimal resource management.
The MCTS: Microsoft Office Project 2007 credential for managing
projects validates the skills of project managers who use Office
Project 2007. Candidates for this credential may work on projects as
a team member, project lead, project manager, scheduler, or another
role that requires the ability to formulate well thought-out project
plans and to manage projects effectively. MCTS candidates may be
responsible for the scheduling, estimating, coordinating,
controlling, budgeting, and staffing of projects. Candidates may
also provide support to other Microsoft Office Project users.
Candidates should be familiar with key project management concepts
and terminology.
