Microsoft Project 2013 Step by Step

Not that I loved reading this book, but it's really well written. The pictures are helpful, and it's step by step really really helps with that complicated MS project. Now, here's the funny thing, this was purchased for school and I learned a lot, but NO ONE IN THE BUSINESS USES the MS Project Management tool. Not even people at Microsoft. I know how to use this tool because of this book better than the people who work for MS! Hey, buy this book, learn something, but don't expect anyone in PM to ever use this product. Hey Maybe I'm wrong. No worries either way. Great Book - Boring Read (I mean REALLY BORING READ) but super useful/helpful. Oh and when I say boring, I mean BORING! As in, I fell asleep reading the same sentence over and over and over again and I read the whole book. Totally keeping this though, because MS project is the most complicated horrible tool out there. Maybe MS project would be great for projects that takes years and years and years to complete. That I get... Great Book considering this is not a tool (MS Project) I enjoyed using.

Good transaction, fast shipping item as described

I have used the Microsoft "Step by Step" series books throughout my career, and they are best for gaining a complete 10,000 foot view of a particular application. If you are already familiar with an app, then this is not the resource you want to start off with. I had not used Microsoft Project since Project 2007, and I hadn't used it that much in my job anyway so I bought this to get me up to speed on the interface changes, new features, etc. The best thing about Step by Step books is that they provide practice files and EXACT instructions so you know that you are using the application correctly. Great series. I highly recommend it for beginners and intermediate users who want a good solid understanding of an app. For a deeper dive on individual aspects of the app, I would choose another resource like "Project Unleashed", etc.

As with most tutorial resources, the user is required to have a basic understanding of: (a) computer navigation; (b) framework (what actives are to be performed); (c) sequence (when) of activities to be performed; (d) what (or who) resources to assign to the activities; and (d) at what level of grandularity to plan said activities (& to measure performance).In short, no one resource can answer all questions to the satisfaction of all users. Be prepared to invest time to master the content of this resource.

Good information same basic Microsoft presentation and format that everyone is used to seeing.

Used it for a class. Can be a bit confusing so must read slowly and carefully but overall I give it 4stars and would recommend it.

This book contains steps that are not mentioned in other books on Microsoft Project.

Though content was good (only reason it received 3 stars), the print quality was horrible (worth 1 star because there was ink on the page). Most of the screen captures were worthless. Everything looked as if it was printed in fast draft on recycled paper. First time I've ever returned a book because of quality. Normally Microsoft does a great job.

Muito bom !Atendeu minhas expectativas de preparo para certificação Microsoft.Também ajudou a clarificar alguns conceitos, relatórios e configurações.

This is fine until you need the files. MSProject is v expensive for personal use so most project managers will only have it installed on a work machine. Now just try downloading or copying them onto a hardened machine such as those issued by almost any modern company

Well structured. Comes with excercise files that allow you to go through the functionalities step by step. Valuable resource for looking up specifics

The book arrived timely and in excellent condition. The content and structure of this book is superb. I highly recommend it to any anybody who wants to learn the tricks of Project Management using MS Project 2013.

Useful book, but only for starting with MS Project, if you want to go the full extent you will need more in depth books.
