Supplement software guides with this real world training reference.
The book draws on the author's practical knowledge in the use of project management software and presents workable solutions to real day-to-day planning and scheduling problems. The book takes the user through the logical sequence of creating a schedule and statusing (updating or progressing) and contains practical advice on how to use the software and how to collect the data required to create and update your schedule. It is a balanced book, outlining how to use the core features of Microsoft Project 2002 to create and status both un-resourced and resourced schedules in a single project environment. It is aimed to take the user quickly to an intermediate skill level in the use of Microsoft Project 2002 by not becoming involved in the features that are not commonly used or needed for traditional project scheduling. 240 pp.This book tackles the
difficult issues of how the software calculates with the different options which
are often not addressed in the Reference Manual supplied with the software. The
book provides advice on how on how these options may be applied to projects
environments.
The book stays focused on using Primavera Enterprise by:
- Concentrating on the core functions required to plan and schedule project.
- Keeping all information on each function in one chapter so the reader does not have to dart back and forth through the book to find all the information on a subject.
- Providing command lists at the start of each chapter as a quick reference.
- Omitting advice on project management methodology and/or theory, which the target audience may not be interested in, and which would tend to pad the book out making the location of information on the software function more difficult.
- Not exploring every available "Add-On" option in the product, as it is believed these features, if required by the user, may be learned from the help facilities once the contents of the book are absorbed.
