An ideal "how to" reference for project managers.
3 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Designed for business executives and project managers, Stephen Nelson, Pat Coleman, and Kaarin Dolliver have collaborated to provide an easy to use eight step program of organizing, managing and finishing a project using Microsoft Project 2000. The steps clearly laid out in the Effective Executives: Guide To Project 2000 include learning the language of project management and Project 2000; describing the project in general terms (including start date, end date, and calendar of workdays); breaking the project down into components tasks, specifying task order and relationships; identification and assignment of project resources; reviewing the project for structural soundness and reasonableness; presenting the plan to project team members and management; monitoring process and costs (assuring the project stays on course); keeping project team members apprised of the project's status and communicate important project information and changes to all interested parties. Effective Executives: Guide To Project 2000 is enhanced for the reader with informative appendixes presenting real-world solutions for dealing with the practical problem of scheduling uncertainties using PERT; explaining how to customize Project 2000 so it better fits specific requirements, and more. Effective Executives: Guide To Project 2000 is the ideal "how to" reference for anyone using Project 2000 for their project management needs and concerns.

If you've already read step by step, DON'T get this book!
19 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Taking the advice from the other's who reviewed this book, I bought it. Although I'd just finished Step by Step for Project 2000, I was looking for more concepts and principles behind PM for executives. This book was nothing more than a refresher for me. Its poorly written and the average user picking up a MS Project book for the first time would be lost. Stick with step by step books....

Takes the Monster Out of the Closet
29 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
I've always found project management and project management software to be intimidating. This book, however, makes it all very clear and much less ominous. Not only is the Microsoft Project 2000 software thoroughly discussed but essentials of project management as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone new to managing projects or to the person who has so far found project software the equivalent of the Monster hiding in the closet.
