Leverage Microsoft Project Online for

Legal Project Management 

Description

Legal clients increasingly demand that their attorneys abandon the traditional “billable hour” (or “time and materials”) way of charging for legal services in favor of Alternative Fee Arrangements (“AFAs”) and other "value-based" billing arrangements, but without Legal Project Management (“LPM”) the profitable implementation of AFAs in a law firm or legal department is impossible. In this webinar, you’ll learn how Microsoft 365’s Project On-line and Power BI business analytics can be configured to enable a law firm or in-house legal department to more accurately prepare cost estimates for legal matters and to easily and profitably, track and monitor the scope, schedule and costs in legal matters in “real time” using LPM. 

Webinar highlights include: 

• A “Top Level” introduction and overview of Microsoft 365’s Project On-line and Power BI 
• How to customize Microsoft’s platform for use by a law firm or legal department to generate “real time” legal matter reporting with “dashboards” and Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) 
• A demonstration of how to use MS Project Templates for legal matters to quickly estimate costs, schedules and resource availability for common legal matters and to track and monitor such matters in “real time” 
• How to get started on the road to successful LPM with the solutions demonstrated
