Project Management for Education

Vertabase project management software is now being taught in an MBA course on project management at Lake Forest Graduate School of Management in Illinois.

The software is used in the course: “Successful Projects: Define, Plan and Manager Your Work.”

Vertabase is discussed when the course goes over setting up Microsoft Project and using Vertabase as a compliment and comparison to MS Project.

It is further covered when the future MBA’s learn about controlling and managing multiple projects -using Vertabase. Since it is rare that an organization, and therefore a manager, will only have one project going on at a time.

Thank you to the course instructor for selecting Vertabase as the online project management software for this class.
