Microsoft Office Project 2007 can be powerful project management software to help you manage projects more efficiently and effectively if it’s used to its maximum potential. This fully revised new edition combines scheduling best practices with valuable recommendations as to why, when, and how to use the various features of Microsoft Office Project 2007 based on research from over 1,000 real-life schedules. Unlike other user manuals, this unique guide gives a complete picture of how to use this software to achieve the best results in practice. “A must read, re-read, and use daily for all project managers” is what PMI’s Project Management Journal had to say about the previous edition. This updated version is even better.
