Product Description
From Amazon
Managing large projects has a lot to do with keeping track of dependencies among their components. In other words, you have to know what must be done first, before other aspects of the project can go ahead. Microsoft Project 2000 helps you identify those dependencies and monitor progress toward them, and Microsoft Project 2000 Bible can help you become an expert in using this useful program. It covers Project 2000's entire feature set clearly and completely. About the only shortcoming of this book is its lack of an evaluation version of the application on the companion CD-ROM.
Some books in the Bible Series fall into the trap of emphasizing interface documentation over practical explanations. This book avoids that snare, focusing on business goals rather than on the software itself. So sections (easily located in the index) like "Assigning Part-Time Work" and "Using the Critical Path to Shorten a Project"--in which you'll find procedures to follow and explanations of how Project complements the duties of real-life managers--are the norm. Passages on reporting and network publishing are (appropriately) more software-centric. --David Wall
Topics covered: Microsoft Project 2000 for people who use it every day to monitor and manage elaborate team efforts; Project's management of goals, tasks, resources, and actual progress; financial tracking; Project's tools for collaboration via e-mail and network publishing.

Very complete review, including Project Central,
By Manny Hernandez "@askmanny" (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Project 2000 Bible (Paperback)
I was looking in particular for a book that, besides covering the details about Project 2000, would also dedicate enough space to covering the new Project Central feature that this software includes. Out of all the Project 2000 books I browsed before buying this one, this definitely was THE best one in this aspect. With its help we've been able to set up our Project Central at work. I highly recommend it.

Book is fine, CD is a pain,
By
This review is from: Microsoft Project 2000 Bible (Paperback)
I found the text worthwhile, but the CD that comes with the book was missing an installation file, which forced me to have to install all of the programs manually. When I called IDG technical support, they said that the only fix was to go ahead and install everything manually, and there was no way to get the additional required file. I would have found it easier to put up with this nonsense if the price of the book weren't so high.

Provides a lot, but does not go far enough,
By Saralee Newell, PMP (Slidell, Louisiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Project 2000 Bible (Paperback)
Although the idea of providing resources is a good one, many of them are out of date (addresses and contact information,etc.)I have used Project before and I am working on a fast track project and trying to learn the new features at the same time. Some of the explanations do not go far enough, but if you are new to MS Project, this is a good beginning. Some of Microsoft's definitions of project management terms are misleading and in some cases, wrong. The publications on project management that are listed are more correct.
