    This is a fantastic learning resource that appeals to visual and auditory senses. The product is easy to install and the content is thorough and well-researched and there are plenty of opportunities to review and assess and evaluate your skills. That said, I would add more value to the learning by with further research - one book I would recommend is: Brilliant Project Management: What the Best Project Managers Know, Say and Do

    2.1.5. Assessment
    2.1.6. Review

    2.2.2. Charting Time
    2.2.3. GANTT Charts

    A VERY basic intro into project management so would serve well as a very basic overview. Disappointed as I had been hoping for more based on the product description.
