Microsoft Project 2003 seems to be an afterthought January 9, 2007 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This book does a very good job of explaining the essentials of project management, as well as basic project management theory. The problem for me lies with the "with Microsoft Project 2003" part of the book - the lack of practice or at least example files. Screen shots illustrating various Project 2003 screens were just not enough for me - I needed to see (and the book should have referred to) actual sample Microsoft Project projects. In addition, it could have been a bit more comprehensive - I found that a lot of basic Project 2003 how to information was missing. Project 2003 is a very feature rich application and this book just scratches the surface. I think the Microsoft Press Step-by-Step volume is a much better introduction to using this application for project management (although not as strong on the theory).

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

The Complete Idoits Guide to Project Management w/ Microsoft Project 2003 October 15, 2005 45 out of 46 found this review helpful
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.
