The Complete Idiot's Guide to Project Management with Microsoft Project2003

I needed to know MS Project fast! This is an excellent reference guide and was very helpful!

Good read that gave me lots of handy hints and tips, both in project management itself and in using Project 2003. A definite buy.

I feel this book is easy to understand and implementable. I use the book daily to help me improve my event planning and managment.

Ron has delivered a powerful book for anyone that uses Microsoft Project 2003 because he explains complicated concepts in an easy to understand format. But this book is more than a software guide, it provides an enlightening approach to project management that makes this book worth reading for anyone in project management regardless of whether they use Microsoft Project or not. Unfortunately, too many books and articles on project management offer poor advice. These are written by technicians who don't understand the real world - they focus on process instead of results. Project Management is simply the art of getting things done. Ron knows how to get results and reveals the secrets to getting the desired results. I've presented hundreds of seminars on project management, yet the advice Ron conveys in his easy to read style still opens my eyes to new ideas. This is a book everyone in project management must read. I know my copy will be worn out.

Covers all the basics for handling Microsoft Project 2003, 2000 and 2002, providing updated terms, tips for approaching workgroup projects and communication requirements, and project presentation. Chapters show how to both operate the application itself and get the most from project goals.
