Show Me Microsoft Office Project 2003

  • Description
  • Reviews
  • Sample Content & TOC

Show Me Microsoft Office Project 2003 covers all the most important Project tasks using clear, step-by-step instructions, and is illustrated with hundreds of helpful screenshots. This easy-to-use book includes Show Me Live! Software that shows you how to perform everyday tasks and helps you gain real-world project experience. Other features include PM Focus, a full sidebar page with project management related information explaining when and why you might use a particular Project function.

The book is perfect for the advanced beginner to intermediate user who has limited experience with Project and who wants to learn through a highly visual, less text extensive approach. Because it is a task-based reference, it is also great for previous version users who want to quickly get up to speed on a new version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and has complete MS Project features, September 25, 2004
This review is from: Show Me Microsoft Office Project 2003 (Paperback)
This is a great book because it has easy-to-use step-by-step instructions and illustrations. Even though it is designed for beginners/intermediates, this book has many advanced features that are very well explained. I've been a project manager and I've used MS Project for a long time, this is a very nice general reference for MS Project.
