Most Comprehensive

I continue to examine other books on MS Project, and keep coming back to this one as having the most thorough coverage of this software. To fully use MS Project to manage a team on a project, one has to dig pretty deep into many of it's features, this is the only book that digs deeply enough for me. The Project 2000 version of this book does not come out unitl Aug, but I would still choose this book before any of the...

How to do just about anything in Project '98...

Intrinsically, project management requires chess-like thinking; it is multi-dimensional by nature. I think both the software and this book reflect that complexity and do not try to over-simplify.

This author really understands Project...

If you're using Project 98 - buy this book!

After working with MS-Project since 1985 and teaching it since 1990, I've finally found a book that lists most of the tips and tricks I've found over the years. As a project management consultant, my clients often ask me to suggest books that will help them with Microsoft Project and this is the one I recommend. For new users, or users moving up from previous versions, the book is full of useful techniques - often providing...
