Summary: Easy Instructions
Comment: This product was very easy to follow. It also came with a CD which made it even easier to use. I had never used this software before, but with the help of this book, I was able to!! Highly recommend.

Summary: I didn't care for this book
Comment: I read this out of curiosity and found it to be mediocre about explaining and using Project 2003.

It felt like the effort was to explain project management with a little Project 2003 tossed in. Maybe they were trying to make a reference book? I would not keep it as a reference and I am not sure I would suggest this book to a beginner.

It was not organized well as it could have been. The command examples loose their effectiveness as you don't have the example files for use and abuse while you play.

I also found the information spread out amoung the chapters as the already mentioned tasks and subtasks in the previous review.

The chapter on using project server seems to be out of place as it could be a book in itself. A person involved with it would not read this book to get an idea of project server. It was not needed.

One thing sorely lacking are links for more information. You get links for products but not informational sources.

The CD tools are ok but they appear to be dated now.

Overall, normally a dummies book is a baby steps book but I think this would confuse a person who has never worked with project management concepts.

It would have been better if the book centered on setting up a small project and walk the user through the use of Project 2003 while building the project.

Summary: Dummies pick something else in this case
Comment: Got some "dummies", but this is not the best one. The contents of the supplied CD-ROM is hardly useful for beginners. Project 2003 Step by Step is imo a better book with good digital samples and a digital version of the book on the CD-ROM.

Summary: Project 2003 - Not For Dummies!
Comment: Earlier this year I purchased Project 2003 for Dummies and I must say that it has been a very useful tool. Since purchasing the book from Amazon I have been able to build and use Microsoft Project 2003 for a number of incentive and loyalty marketing projects that I have either launched or worked on. I would highly recommend Project 2003 for Dummies to anyone who needs to build or manage a project plan.
