Media Reviews
Microsoft(R) Project is a very powerful tool to support project managers planning and managing a project. As a Microsoft(R) Project user and instructor, I have developed a deep respect for the capabilities of the product. Paul Harris has created a book that takes project management professionals through Microsoft(R) Project in a sequence of workshops that ensures that Microsoft(R) Project is setup correctly and information is managed in a logical order. The case study and the screen shots bring the product to life in a very simple and practical way. Paul has also integrated the principles of PRINCE2TM both in providing a context for using Microsoft(R) Project and demonstrating these concepts in the workshops. Overall, I recommend this approach to learning Microsoft(R) Project. Bruce McNaughton Director, Customer Driven Solutions Limited www.process-aide.com or www.processassets.com With 5 years experience as a PRINCE2TM trainer I consider that 'PRINCE2TM Planning and Control Using Microsoft(R) Project 2007' is a timely publication addressing the increasing use of the PRINCE2TM as a corporate project management method or framework. Outside of major engineering organizations Microsoft(R) Project is probably the most widely used project scheduling tool in use today. It is also a fact that many users never receive formal training in the use of the application with the result that the power and flexibility of Microsoft(R) Project is rarely fully utilized. The PRINCE2TM method requires good planning to facilitate resource management, progress tracking and control. Paul Harris' manual unlocks the power and versatility of Microsoft(R) Project with a logical presentation of the tool in the context of a PRINCE2TM project scenario. He clearly identifies the areas where Microsoft(R) Project supports the PRINCE2TM method and is equally candid in addressing areas of weakness, but he always proposes a work-around. This is particularly so in dealing with PRINCE2TMs product-based-planning approach. Chapters I found very useful were those on understanding dependencies, formulating reports and on tracking progress. The mix of information and exercises is very good and this book will be very useful as a day-to-day reference for every project manager.
