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. 220 pp.

The book stays focused on using Primavrea Contractor 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.
