Dynamic Scheduling® With Microsoft® Project 2010: The Book By and For Professionals

Driving your project through resource availability is, when dealing with those who own a project's budget or are responsible for it's deliverables, pointless. The powers that be want hard dates. Resource availability changes are not something they are interested in changing their delivery schedule and/or connected processes or projects for.That being said, there is a TON of great ideas on how to utilize Dynamic Scheduling to order tasks based on resource availability as opposed to hard dependencies. Some of this type of information has proven to be useful. Still, it goes against what most managers and team members are used to. Implementing this scheduling approach involves as much OCM as it does learning and mastering the approach yourself, as well as the tool.

The authors provide a good methodology for scheduling. The exercises get a bit heavy at times with step by step through the menus. However if you want the basics of Project coupled with how to schedule a project this is a good start.

Hello,First than anything I'm Mexican and as you know my native language is Spanish, so my apologies in advance for any mistake.The book so far so good, I say that because at the moment I'm reading it and I haven't finished, It's a very complete book that can help anybody even if you are not an expert at using Project, it's because it explains in depth detail step by step what you have to do and gives you very important advice in the use of the Software and techniques used by Project Managers.One think I don't really like is that the book was thought to be read only for Project Managers and actually I'm not a Project Manager but that doesn't mean I'm not able to manage projects as good or even better as a Project manajer would do it, I'm just only an engineer 27 years old guy who wants to learn as much as I can.By the way, Thanks to Amazon because it was the only mean by which I could get the book.

This is still the leading text even though there is not a lot of substantive changes compared with the previous edition.

This book has greatly helped me fill in my MS Project knowledge gaps. It is meant for a professional audience versus an academic audience. I liked that 1) it targets only scheduling, not all MS Project capabilities, 2) it is relevant to my work as a project manager. It is frequently flipped open on my desk and has answered more questions than it has created.

Already a certified Project Management Professional, I selected this book to prepare for the Project 2010 exam. I quickly decided it was not suited to that end. The authors primarily teach project management, and try to tie in specific features of Project 2010 that support the particular PM area being discussed. They do a fairly good job with that, but we have to wade through all of the project management content to get to the software content.The real drawback is the lack of practice scenarios or sample project files. The appendix cites a web site with files for download, but after registering, I never received the authorization email to get the files. I tried a second time with a different email address to make sure it wasn’t spam blocked, but still received no response.A solid text if you need to learn to learn project fundamentals, and want to try Microsoft Project as you learn, but not an exam prep or skill-building tool.

This is the best book I've read about it. It's objective, complete and presents the information with good examples and useful tips.

It is rather professional book for strater and mid-experienced PMs.It helped me to have a good overview and details if needed.

i was trying to find a book suitable to organize a class for project management to teach young engineers. This book was very good for this purpose. It is also very good for professional engineers who want to delve into the project management.

I purchased this book, that I need urgently for my work, on June 3rd paying the listed price of Rs. 3,772. My credit card was charged and I received a confirmation email saying that the book will be dispatched between June 6th & June 9th. I was eagerly waiting to receive the book but have instead received an email from BookAdda, dated June 5th, telling me that on account of NON-AVAILABILITY of the said book they have refunded my credit card with the amount.I get back on Amazon India site to see that BookAdda is now selling the same book for Rs. 5, 539. If this is no not CHEATING then I don't know what is. I purchased the book by paying in full the price listed by BookAdda and now they have just gotten GREEDY and are demanding a much higher price for the same book by refusing to fulfill the original order that they had ACCEPTED.This is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

The objective of this book is test prep and it does that. I like the style - lots of white space and pictorials.

Good

So so book. Difficult to follow at times. Exercise are good practice.
