The book is very user friendly and also comes with MS Projects software with it. Very easy to follow and learn. I recommend to user without much prior knowledge.

This is a very good beginner to more advanced MS Project book. The many examples and labs help both the novice and more advanced Project user to become more proficient with the tool. Our local PMI Chapter uses this book to teach MS Project to our members and we have gotten very good feedback from out students on how thorough the book is. I would recommend it to anyone who uses MS Project.

Project management on even a fairly large project is both important and difficult to accomplish without computer assistance. Microsoft Project is a full fledged project management system that is fully integrated into the Microsoft Office environment. This means that the screen looks a lot like any other Office application. There are several versions of Project, and these are described to assist in deciding what to buy.

Finally you get to the point where you have Project on your system and have gotten it started. The book then becomes a Step by Step tutorial. It explains what you are doing and why, and gives you a good understanding of why this particular bit of information is being required. As you would expect in a book this size, the book continues through all the aspects of project management reaching the use of Project Server where multiple inputs can come in from users throughout the organization.

Of all the books I've seen, this is the one I'd recomment for the beginning user. There are some more complex reference books for advanced users, but this is the place to start.

Book is logically laid out to truly provide step by step instructions on how to use the MS Project tool and basic project management steps. The book provides many options for doing the same task to be sure you fully understand the many capabilities of this powerful tool. Excellent book!

I'm new to Microsoft Project. I checked several books and settled on this one. I've used the Step-by-Step series before. This is by far the most detailed and correct that I've not only seen of the series, but for learning how to use Project. It's an excellent reference for day-to-day use and covers the steps extremely well. There may be books out there for the more advanced user, but this one is the best I've seen for a beginner.
