Customer Reviews

Quick, To the Point, and Detailed Enough
I really enjoyed this book (I've read about 80% of it so far). I already knew the basics of Microsoft Project, and was able to skip the first couple chapters of it. But I found that for the topics where I needed a refresher or to learn completely new material, it was perfect for me.

I'm not someone who needs to spend an hour to learn a simple task. The Step-By-Step series tell you you're gonna learn, how it applies in a realistic example, and walks you through the steps. They don't beat around the bush and they don't give you too much or too less.

The screenshots were helpful as well.

But what I liked most about the book -- which was an unexpected bonus -- is the little tidbits of Project Management wisdom thrown in to each chapter plus an entire chapter at the end. I'm not a PMP, but reading these sections was like reading a PMP refresher book.

Worthwhile
Good step by step workbook, as advertised. Easy to follow along and the instruction in the book does match what is on your screen. No fault of the book but the software has too many optional ways to arrive at the same functionality. Should be rationalized.

I recommend the book.

not satisfied
The book was required text for a course I am taking and the cd that came with this book did install on my computer, I got a replacement cd and it did not install. So to me buying the book was a waste of time and money.
