As a corporate instructor, I teach Ms Project 98 to business professionals, who have a wide background in project management experience and computer skills. Out of all the other books on the market about MS Project 98, when asked about references I always suggest this book as my number one recommendation. Why? It explains project management, when applies it to the tool, MS Project. It is well written, concise, and thoroughly covers the topics. If you are a project manager or administrative support needing to learn MS Project 98 quickly and effectively, this book is for you. Enjoy!
