Summary

Microsoft Project 2007 helps users control the variables on any project, big or small -- such as schedules, budgets, communications, and changes -- rather than be controlled by them. Written by project management expert Bonnie Biafore, this book teaches readers how to do everything from setting, tracking, and adjusting schedules and budgets to testing scenarios and and recognizing trouble spots before your project breaks down.
