Book description
A guide to Microsoft Project that focuses on developing a
successful project management strategy across the organization to
drive better decisions
Making Effective Business Decisions Using Microsoft Project
goes far beyond the basics of managing projects with Microsoft Project
and how to set up and use the software. This unique guide is an
indispensable resource for anyone who operates within a Project
Management Operation (PMO) or is affected by the adoption of project
management within an organization. Its focus is to provide practical
and transitional information for those who are charged with making
decisions and supporting corporate and strategic objectives, and who
face cost and resource constraints.
Because more and more companies are aligning project management with
their business strategies, the book not only provides guidance on
using Microsoft Project and teaching project management skills, but
also includes important information on measuring results and
communicating with the executive branch. It also provides valuable
guidance in using SharePoint Server for social networking and working
within a team.
Clearly written and presented, the book:
- Covers work management using Microsoft Project at multiple
levels within an organization
- Focuses on using Microsoft Project 2010 to integrate and support
overall organizational strategies
- Includes hundreds of graphics, screen shots, and annotations
that make it the most accessible and usable guide available on the subject
Making Effective Business Decisions Using Microsoft Project is
a valuable reference for project managers at all levels, and it sets a
new standard for training manuals used by businesses that teach
courses on project management using Microsoft Project.
