Preface
New learners are very often faced with a double challenge: learning Microsoft Project and navigating project management at the same time. Microsoft Project is a beast, and not easy to learn.
So, I promised myself a few things when I started this book:
- To remember and address the key pain-points I faced when I started my own journey into Microsoft Project and into project management
- To introduce topics in the same order as in real-life project management
- To not get lost within the maze of professional jargon, but to show the spirit and practical logic of its intention
- To use storytelling to engage the reader, moving from simple concepts to advanced practical usage
- To leverage all my experience of teaching online courses so that the readers of this book avoid the most common pitfalls
Experienced project managers, too, will benefit from this book. They will be able to plan and estimate, baseline, track progress, monitor and control, and create awesome reports all within a single application. Whether you are a beginner, or an experienced project manager, please start with a complete reading of the book.
