Dynamic Scheduling with Microsoft? Office Project 2007: The Book by and for Professionals

Rather than explaining all the features of Project 2007, the book teaches project managers and students how to manage projects using Project 2007, presenting insight and experiences from the International Institute for Learning, Inc. Learning features include review questions, start-to-finish exercises on an office relocation project, troubleshooting exercises drawn from real-life technical support, and case studies. Screenshots and humorous cartoons are presented in a reader-friendly two-color layout. This edition contains two new chapters on enterprise project management and earned value management. The book is entirely based on and aligned with the PMBOK Guide, third edition, published by PMI. It is recommended that readers read the PMBOK Guide first. Ambriz is affiliated with Microsoft EPM Division. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
