Summary: Solid introduction for the beginner
Review: Not a bad book and a good introduction to the subject. Like many of the other reviewers, I think the book is much more suited to the beginner. I have been (badly) using MS-Project for years, and this book didn't really offer me too many new things. Overall, it is a good book, for its intended audience. Only two beefs: 1) Like all Microsoft Press books it did not give any insight to the common problems that can occur when you use the software, doesn't discuss bugs, etc., and 2) Many important options were only given brief discussion...say maybe one sentence, when a paragraph should have been used. I'm sure this was a writing and editing decision, but it took away the usefulness of the book when I was trying to research intermediate questions and issues of use.

Summary: Fresh Approach, New Scenario
Review: Rather than update Microsoft Project 98 Step by Step, the authors of Project 2000 started with a fresh approach and a new scenario: a film project that provides excellent hands on activities for self-instruction. Co-authored by a Project Management Institute certified "Project Management Professional," which in my experience as an IT project management consultant is a first for any MS Project books since the program appeared a decade ago, Microsoft Project 2000 Step by Step can be a very reliable introduction for those who are new to project management techniques and software. For experts who actually track the projects they've created in MS Project, there are tips on new features such as the Responsible Manager assignment on tasks allocated to several resources.

Review: This is a great book to teach yourself more than you ever wanted to know on Microsoft Project 2000. This book takes you through STEP BY STEP on how to use Microsoft Project and gives you great samples on the enclosed CD. If only the instructors in school would have made it this easy! Very easy to follow and use. Highly Recommended.

Summary: When they say step by step they mean it!
Review: This is a pretty good book.
Covers most of what you need.
Would have liked to see the central server covered better.
They really do go through things step by step.
Covers the basics VERY thoroughly.

Summary: An entirely new approach to mastering Microsoft Project
Review: Tim and I hope you will find our book to be a great tool for mastering the latest version of Microsoft Project. Key benefits include the following: - The CD-ROM included with our book includes all of the practice files you need to complete the lessons, multimedia demos of many Project and Project Central features, and a fully functional 60-day evaluation version of Project 2000. - Our book is certified and approved training material that can help you pass the new Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) core and expert level exams for Project 2000. - It's the only book about Project 2000 available that was written by Microsoft insiders: a technical writer (me, Carl Chatfield) and a product support professional (Tim Johnson) from the Project group at Microsoft. Our combined knowledge of Project and the challenges faced by real-world users has resulted in an excellent novice to intermediate level tutorial. Microsoft Project 2000 Step by Step focuses on doing real-world project management work with the latest version of the most popular project management program in the world, Microsoft Project. The tutorial is organized around the sound project management principle called the project triangle: define and run your project in terms of time, cost, and scope. The lessons in the tutorial follow the same order in which you manage a project: create and fine-tune a project plan, track progress, and manage variance in actual work. Written in an approachable, friendly style, our book guides you through the rich and sometimes complex interface of Project. In addition to instructions on working in Project, each lesson contains valuable tips and shortcuts about working smarter, as well as project management principles and best practices. Good luck with Project! Carl Chatfield
