This book is intended for people who want to learn how to use MS Project. Managers must make the best possible use of resources—which are often scarce and costly—to ensure the success of their projects within the given constraints. When project deadlines are tight and the number of activities to be completed makes it challenging to schedule tasks around employees’ demanding schedules and financial constraints, the use of planning tools, such as MS Project, is essential to bring order to the project’s organization.
MS Project is easy to use, but it requires some initial training and getting to know its interface. This manual offers a structured, step-by-step approach to help you become familiar with its basic features. It uses a common example—building a house—to introduce the main characteristics of tasks, describe the various types of resources, create a Gantt chart summarizing the project, and generate key management reports. With this book, it will only take you a few hours to unlock the full potential of this software. On your keyboards, get set… Go!
