MSP Bpok

Hi Emmanuel,

Personally I’d recommend Dynamic Scheduling With Microsoft Office Project 2003 by Eric Uyttewaal, but you might want to start with one of the ‘Dummies’ type of reference books… not that I’m suggesting you’re thick :o)

Pretty much any of the entry level books will suit your purpose, but go for one that has an accompanying CD-ROM that will give you practical examples of the topics in the book.

You probably won’t need anything too advanced if you’re teaching new users, so start with the basics. Make sure you can head off any questions your ‘students’ will have and then if you need to, start looking for something more complex.

Look at any of the training courses that are available on-line and the compare the basic / intermediate / advanced syllabus with what is being offered in the books and remember… in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king!!

Regards,

Darren

I have written several books on MSP and they are available from my web site or any books shop that is prepared to order them.

My books are aimed at professional project managers who wish to learn how to use MSP in a project environment, it is not a “Dummies Guide” and they are not padded out with project management methodology and I get down fairly quickly to the issues of how to use the software in a project environment.

You may download sample chapters from my web site to see if you like the book.

My 99 Trick and traps in a neat pocket book that I describe as the “casual schedulers survival guide” and you may wish to look at if you have used MSP but are getting caught with some of the complexities of using the software.

My books are available through www.compman.co.uk or amazon.co.uk in the UK.

I have a spiral bound version of my MSP 2007 book which is backward compatible to MSP 2000 which is designed for running training courses.
