Save time by learning only the most important features of MS Project®-the ones that you will actually use to keep your projects on track!

This is a guide to the most commonly used basic features of Microsoft® Project 2003 (a scheduling and resource planning/tracking tool). The objective of this book is to cover and drill down on the Microsoft 2003 feature set. It suggests a method to shortcut the confusion of MS Project's five different task types and resource-driven default. This will help you understand “who's working when” on your project, and whether or not you have correctly assigned individuals.

In just a couple of hours, you will be able to set up MS Project® to create easy to understand, useful schedules. Schedules are organized by subprojects, deliverables, and activities. You will learn to:

• Assign and level resources
• Place and remove constraints
• Customize the environment using tables, filters & sorts
• Customize how MS Project is formatted on the screen
• Track project progress
• Work with multiple projects
• Understand how to add cost estimates on a task level
• Use standard and customized reports
• Make the Network Chart usable
