Microsoft Project 2007: The Missing Manual
Schedules, budgets, communications, resources. Projects big
and small include them all, and Microsoft Project 2007 can
help you control these variables -- not be controlled by
them. But Project is complex software, and learning it is,
well, a project in itself. Get up to speed fast with
Microsoft Project 2007: The Missing Manual.
Written by
project management expert Bonnie Biafore, this book teaches
you how to do everything from setting budgets and tracking
schedules to testing scenarios and recognizing trouble spots
before your project breaks down.
Find out what's new in Project 2007 from previous versions,
and get help choosing the right edition, whether it's
Project Standard, Project Professional, or Enterprise
Project Management Solution. With Microsoft Project 2007:
The Missing Manual, you get more than a simple software
how-to. You also get a rundown on project management basics
and plenty of solid advice on how to use Project to:
Define your project and plan your approach
Estimate your project, set up a budget, define tasks, and
break the work into manageable chunks
Create a schedule, define the sequence of work, and learn
the right way to use date constraints and deadlines
Build a project team and assign resources to tasks: "who
does what"
Refine the project to satisfy objectives by building reality
into the schedule, and learn to keep project costs under
control
Track progress and communicate with team members via
reports, information sharing, and meetings that work
Close out your project and take away valuable lessons for
the future
Microsoft Project 2007 is the flagship of all project
management programs, and this Missing Manual is the book
that should have been in the box. No project manager should
be without it.
