Microsoft Project 98 for Dummies

By Martin Doucette

Managing single or multiple projects is tough enough. Why compound your troubles by tackling the learning curve of a new software program at the same time? Instead, turn to Microsoft Project 98 For Dummies and let author Martin Doucette save you the headaches and hassles of mastering Microsoft Project 98 by yourself. Starting at the very beginning -- What's a project? -- Doucette takes you step-by-step through the powerful features and built-in planning, productivity, and tracking capabilities that make Microsoft Project 98 a must-have for project managers of all stripes and skill levels. In no time, you'll be building your own project schedules to meet deadlines and budgets, using Gantt charts to communicate your ideas visually, and adding pictures, sound files, or movies to your project pages. Sample project files from Microsoft Project 98 For Dummies are included on a special CD-ROM that also features project management software from the Project Management Institute and a trial version of the hot brainstorming software, Project KickStart.

Must have reference book for your shelf.

Informative and easy to follow reference book for MS Project users of all skill levels. I have found it valuable in learning my way around MS Project. Teaches you how to use MS Project to plan projects as well as the value of project management. I consider these type of books worth while if I have a question and am able to find the answer in the book. MS Project for Dummies has always been a great resource.

The amount of detail is amazing!

This book should have been called, "Everything you need to know about Microsoft Project 98, but were afraid to ask." Project 98 has an incredible amount of detail; this book covers all of it. Every "Dummies" book assumes you know nothing. For this piece of software, you need that assumption! It makes an excellent reference book, as well.
