Revue de presse

Project Management tools and standards keep evolving, so it is great to see Paul Harris books are also evolving. Paul has been writing these excellent references for some time now, but the quality and depth of content just keeps getting better and better. There is plenty of information out there in the internet relating to PMBOK and MS Project, but none as comprehensive and in depth as this book. Covering the PMBOK process steps relating to scheduling, it explains both the how and the why when it comes to MS Project. Sure you can self teach, sure you can trawl the internet discussion forums. The smart investment, of time and effort is in one of Pauls books. They meet the needs of the novice, right through to the advanced user helping people plan, update and report consistently. The book is a guide, it is a reference, it is a self paced training course, it is so much more. --Martin Vaughan Director Core Consulting Group Melbourne, Australia

An accurate and maintainable project plan is critical for project success. Paul Harris has created a book that not only introduces a very powerful Project Management tool, Microsoft Project 2013, and he also provides PMBOK Guide process context and the steps to ensure that a plan is created that is accurate and maintainable!!. The guidance in the book stresses the importance of setting up Microsoft Project first before entering a plan by explaining how some of the subtle and critical settings influence the use of the product. In addition, Paul has provided a single example project that is developed through a series of workshops in the context of the PMBOK Guide processes. Each workshop includes a set of correct answers and screen shots to confirm the correct use and understanding of the way Microsoft Project helps project managers manage their planning data. The screen shots are carefully crafted to communicate each step of the way supported by text that is clear and written for the project manager in their language. I highly recommend the basis for learning Microsoft Project in a workshop training or individual study environment. --Bruce McNaughton Director, Customer Driven Solutions Limited
