Books and Action Guides

The CIG to Project Management with Microsoft Project 2003 by Ron Black

The focus of this book is successful project management, not Microsoft Project. Too many new project managers pick up the software, follow Project's guide, and find themselves focusing on all the wrong issues. This book will take you from planning a simple project through more complex techniques, step-by-step, encouraging you to keep your plan simple and effective. The project is not the plan...the project is tangible results delivered on time and on budget...to the satisfaction of your stakeholders.

The first version of this book (for MS Project 2000) was the best selling technical book in the Idiot Guide series. This version was completely rewritten and includes Project 2000, 2002, and 2003. It is also useful for those who use the 2007 Standard (stand-alone version) of MS Project.
