Using Microsoft Project 2000 (Special Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Great for my needs
Review: I teach Project and I needed to get more in depth with the software. This book was great for that. I cannot recomend it for absolute beginers who dont "get" software programs quickly. If you are an advanced user, yet never worked with this particular program, you will like it also.

Review: That about sums it up. I've used Project some, and have looked at several other books before this one. This book provides the detail and clarity to get the ideas across. One particular example ... effort driven scheduling and fixed units versus fixed duration, etc ... a tricky topic, and this book does it better than any other. Best book I've seen on the subject!

Summary: Too much theory
Review: The book is supposed to be used for basic, intermediate and advanced users, but is not able to reach its objective. Probably this is the reason it iss so big (1289 pages).
Although it comes with a CD, it doesn't use any of the examples that are in it and doesn't propose any exercise, making difficult to understand how MS Project 2000 works.
The result is a lot of theory and no hands on.

Summary: A MS Project 2000 Book must have.
Review: This is a very well written book. The writers of this book understand program management and program management software even though Microsoft does not. The writers explain very well how to use the product and warn you of areas that I consider short comings of Project. I plan to use this book as a text book for teaching MS Project 2000. The book would not be good for self teaching beginners.
