An excellent reference for someone who wants to improve his/her skills in MS Project 2007. It was very helpful for me in my Project Management Program training. The seller is the best: on time, as they promise and in the best shape possible. Thanks for support our necesities. Only one regret: it is not coming with the program (MS Project 2007).

I needed to do a schedule for a big job. This book walks you right through step by step. Best book I have read in a long time.

I first read all the reviews before purchasing this book. I did see other MS Project 2007 books that are more (in the classroom) type and would have liked to have gotten them; such as Microsoft Official Academic Course Series, Or MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-632): Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 and Ultimate Learning Guide to Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Epm Learning), but since most of them didn't have a review and they were a little more costly I decided to go with the Step by Step book. So far at this time of writing my review I am on chapter 5. My only complaint is that the book instructs you to use the CD for each chapter in the book there is a folder on the CD for you to use. Now instead of you building your project from scratch (which I would prefer to do) The MS CD for each chapter has added more than what they had told you to ad in the previous chapters, so if you decide to use the same saved project folder and continue on through the book you will find yourself adding things that you weren't told to add in the last chapter(s). Example: in chapter 3 you add names to the Assign Resources. Jonathan Mollerup, Jon Ganio, Garrett R. Vargas and John Rodman, however should you continue on to chapter 4 and not using the chapter 4 folder you will see that you need to add manes like Scott cooper and Patti Mintz. Now what I am really trying to say here is, instead of having to open and work with a new folder for each chapter just continue to build in/on the project you first create. The MS Step by Step book can give you all the information to enter, but they don't do that. Oh, and I really give the book a 4 ?? stars. Note: so you can create one project folder and work through all the chapters, but you will need to add names and other information as you move on, which I have found to be a good thing because you will have to remember where to go to add the stuff in without the book telling you. Good for memorization!
