Attendees: Core Workamajig Implementation Team, Project Managers, Account Managers, Traffic Team.

This training session is designed to teach you how to create a new project. This is done by copying from a template that already has the majority of the setup and schedule already complete. We will then alter the new project to meet the needs of the job at hand and make it active.

Why is this important? This session will highlight The Workamajig Way - the way to enter projects, estimates, and assignments into Workamajig with minimum effort, but maximum results. We will walk through the process of creating a project by copying from a template, creating an estimate based on the schedule and assignments, setting up the project team, and assigning users to tasks on the project.
