You just clipped your first slide! Tim's first connection with Project began as a product support professional at Microsoft, starting with Project 3. Later Tim worked in the Project user assistance team, where he brought his first-hand knowledge of Project customers' issues to new learning solutions for Project. Tim remains involved in the computer industry and continues to look for ways to help customers better understand and use their computer applications.

The title of the book suggests that the authors start out with "Step 1" and then help the readers work their way through the book, building on the material each step of the way. This is NOT the case. The authors instead created separate practice files for each chapter.
It may be because going through an entire project, one step at a time, would result in a book twice as thick. However, it would have been a lot more helpful if that were the case. The major drawback of having a separate file for each chapter is that it leaves learning gaps. In Chapter 3, for example, we set up resources. Then, in Chapter 4, we're supposed to assign resources to tasks, but the resources and tasks have changed from one chapter to the next for no logical reason.
Why couldn't Chapter 4 just pick up where Chapter 3 left off? This is not a great book, nor is it a bad book. I think the best way to learn from this book is to download a trial version of Project , and walk through the material multiple times.
Do it until you can work through each and every one of the book's objectives, without even opening the book. I got a new job where I was doing admin work for a PM and I had never used the software before.
I blew through it in about 16 hours 2 days and haven't looked back since. After I was done, I was showing all the PM's how to effectively use Project including some tips that they never knew. It's a lot easier than trying to fake your way through Project. I just want to note that I would not consider this as a reference.
If you just want to learn a couple tips and tricks in Project, this book may not be for you. This book is for the person coming into Project fresh and who needs a crash course. There are plenty of YouTube videos that will teach you neat tricks in less time if you are already familiar with how to use Project. Amazing - a book from Microsoft that is written for the non-techie, easy to follow and use. If you have project design experience and need to use this as a tool in your project management, highly recommended.
Just start at the beginning and follow it through. Takes time, but MS Project is not intuitive in a lot of places, and there are sequential steps in the text presentation that make life a whole lot easier. Makes MSP usable from the start, and you go only as far as you need to go. The more complex is added as you go along, so you can get up and running and familiarized, stop anywhere along the path.
Side tabs make resource searching simpler once you have a little background in how the book is arranged. Good guide through the learning journey, excellent long term reference for MSP Standard. Did not use with Pro. I have this book and two others "Microsoft Project The Missing Manual" and "Microsoft Project Inside Out" but to learn the software this is undoubtedly the best one.
This book presents the theory very well explained and than, immediately presents an exercise where we can use what we have just learned. The other two are "too much" theory and in the end are boring and unproductive. In a nutshell, using this book it is possible to learn the software naturally because it is really a step by step book with a real project to be developed.
I think the two others are more dedicated for people that has a very good knowledge about MS Project and needs some material to make consults. Bought this book to help with learning MS Project. I realized that I really only needed to use 5 of the horsepower of knowledge this book offers but it certainly did the job! I really liked it because I was quickly able to find what I needed and skip what I did not. Well written! This textbook provides a seamless introduction to MS Project.
The text and practice files dovetail perfectly. This has been the most painless introduction to a computer program I have ever experienced. This book was written to be friendly to beginning users, but offers a lot to more advanced PC users like myself without wasting my time. If I had to recommend a book for learning MS Project , this would be the one. I had purchased this reference manual for learning the differences in the 'significantly-upgraded' MSProject and prior versions, with which I was familiar, hoping that there would be more technical discussion about new or changed capabilities.
The book does have sufficient info for new-to-mid experienced users I count myself in that group , but lacks more extensive detail for advanced users. It seemed to me that moving from mid-to-advanced would require another publication. Use it on regular basis, it is very easy to follow. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. A nice book and very helpful. The only major problem is that MS Project is very buggy.
I had to abandon my project in MS Project and use Excel instead as my organisation only runs MS Project and Project is equally as buggy so no point pushing for an upgrade. I would look at other software before committing the MS Project as it is difficult to ascertain if the problem is you or the software.
However the book provides a good grounding in Project management principles. Report abuse. Clear, concise, helpful. Sections are organised logically, and clearly written by people who manage projects for a living.
