To get the most out of this book

A few simple assumptions are made about readers of this book. You are expected to have the following:

A basic understanding of project management and how teams work in the corporate world.
A basic familiarity of the Microsoft Office product family, simply because Microsoft Project has the same user interface. Moreover, you should be able to import information from, and export reports to, other products in the Office family.
You might need some support to install a desktop version of Microsoft Project if you do not already have it. If you do not have it, please make the best use of Microsoft's excellent support system from the Office portal.
