Microsoft? Project 98 Bible [With One]

Whether new to the world of Project Management or have some experience, this book guides you through the details of electronic Project Management easily. If you are just beginning PM work, Part I, Project Management Basics is appropriate, as it explains the fundamentals of Projects quickly, providing a good quality foundation. The tools, functions, and views are then discussed for the electronic management of a Project, relating them to the fundamentals just learned. Where appropriate, the reader is told about similarities between this solution and other MS solutions, likely increasing the reader's comfort level with the software. All but a few pages relate examples using non-technical language to crystal clear screen shots, which are on the same page, nicely merging the world of Project Management with Microsoft Project software. After the basics are learned, the reader learns how to resolve the common project challenges of schedule and resource limitations. Chapters 8 & 9 are excellent in providing numerous possible resolutions to these problems. The chapter on customizing the software to suit your needs is short, but complete. The section on importing and exporting project information is the best I have seen to date as it covers many file formats. Coordinating files and using them in a Workgroup and posting files to the Web are also well covered. I highly recommend this book!

This is most comprehensive and detailed orientated reference book on Project 98 that I have seen to date. It gives, not only technical support, but real world application to your project management needs. I am a trainer/consultant and I recommend this book as a must to my students in Project Management!!!

This is a pretty good book on MS Project. Of course, there aren't many out there. It covers how to build projects, how to schedule resources, and what task slack is. It also covers how to use Project to report on your progress and it has a section that covers using Project in a workgroup environment.If you are a seasoned user of MS Project, you may not get much from this book, but if you are like me, and have used project for two years, and needed a reference manual, then books does a good job in that arena.

So far, this is the only book out in the market today that does a really good job of illustrating step-by-step how to use this software package. It also comes with a CD-ROM disk that contains templates and Microsoft Project utilities.
