Reseña del editor:

This book may be used for learning Microsoft Project 2002 software as either: a self teach book, or a userguide, or a training manual for a two day training course. The book is aimed at: project management companies in industries such as the building, construction, oil & gas, software development, government and defence who wish to run their own software training courses or provide their employees with an alternative text to the vendor supplied user manual; training organizations who require a training manual to run their own training courses; and people who wish learn the software, however are unable to attend a training course and find the software reference manual hard going. This is a user guide written for Project Management Professionals in any industry who wish to learn or improve their skills in Microsoft Project 2002. Discover how to get the most out of the software up to an intermediate level in a single project environment using Standard or Professional versions. The book is designed to teach planners and schedulers in any industry how setup and use the software in a project environment. It explains in plain English and in a logical sequence the steps required to create and maintain a schedule. It has a chapter dedicated to the new functions available in Microsoft Project 2002 and covers some of the more advanced features of the software. It highlights the sources of information and methods that should be employed to produce a realistic and useful project schedule. This book draws on the author's practical experience in using Microsoft Project in a wide variety of industries. It presents workable solutions to real day to day planning and scheduling problems and contains practical advice on how to set up the software and import data. It includes exercises, a large number of screen dumps, numerous tips and an index. Training organisations or companies who wish to conduct their own training may have the book tailored to suit their requirements. This may be achieved by removing, reordering or adding content to the book and by writing their own exercises. Please contact the author to discuss this service. As a project controls consultant I have used a number of planning and scheduling software packages for the management of a range of project types and sizes. The first books I published were user guides/training manuals for Primavera SureTrak, P3 and Microsoft Project users. These were well received by professional project managers and schedulers, so I decided to turn my attention to Primavera Enterprise. This book follows the same proven layout of my previous books. I trust this book will assist you in understanding how to use Primavera Enterprise on your projects.
