Microsoft Project - A Guide to Practical Project Plans

Microsoft Project A Guide to Practical Project Plans $34.95

Microsoft Project is a project management tool used by many to manage their projects. To some, it is a scheduling tool. To others, it is a resource management and budgeting tool. And to many more, it is simply a nightmare.

Many users of MS Project are self-taught. Unfortunately, they don't have the time because of other priorities, to learn the program properly. As a result, they commit critical errors that cause the plan to become unmanageable. Or, as they record events in their plan, trying to track the progress of their project, what they expect should happen, e.g., seeing the impact of changes or slippages to their schedule, elude them. They typically begin to enter dates based upon the impacts. In frustration, they soon realize that they would be better off using MS Excel to manage the project and lose the power of MS Project. They shelve their plans and use some other method.

According to Microsoft, MS Project is for project management. Because many project managers are not formally trained in project management, Microsoft has included the knowledge of project management in the functioning of MS Project. As a result, there are many times it reacts to input and causes confusion and consternation.

David A. Zimmer unlocks the "code" of MS Project and "lifts the covers" to explain what MS Project is doing for you and to you. The very same information he has taught to thousands of users, he delivers in this book. He provides the Nine Steps to Effective Project Plans and the Seven Cardinal Rules of MS Project. Major companies around the United States of America employ his techniques to successfully manage projects. More importantly, they understand the use of MS Project for their projects and the wealth of information MS Project provides once the plan is built properly.

You can receive the benefit of the hours of training Mr. Zimmer has provided by simply purchasing this book. You would have to pay more than $500 for his two day seminar, but he is making his secrets available to you for only $34.95 plus S&H. You can't beat that deal with a stick!

The book includes a complete description of the course material. This book is not meant for dummies or idiots. It is the real deal. It educates the person who hasn't even opened MS Project to the experienced person who wants to understand better why MS Project does what it does.

Along with the book, Mr. Zimmer provides copies of his presentation that he uses during the seminar. You get both the book and the presentation slides bound in a spiral notebook that is easy to read and used next to your computer.
