Microsoft Project For Dummies, 2022 Edition Pdf Book Description:

Microsoft has a lightweight project application called Project for the Web. Project for the Web is appropriate for smaller projects or for people who aren’t project managers but who manage projects as part of their job. It is not sufficient for large or complex projects. It is built on the Microsoft Power Platform rather than SharePoint, so the features, functions, and interface are very different. This book does not cover any information about Project for the Web. If you want more information, you find it here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/project. Because this book assumes desktop client software, I don’t spend time on anything associated with enterprise versions or server features. The good news is, of whether you’re running the desktop client or subscription version of the software, this book is packed full of useful information for getting to know Microsoft Project. I’ve made some assumptions about you, gentle reader. I figure that you’re computer-literate and that you know how to use the mouse, the keyboard, and the Ribbon.

I assume that you know how to use most common Windows functions (such as the Clipboard), as well as many basic software functions, such as selecting text and dragging and dropping items with the mouse. I also assume that you have experience in managing projects. Whether you manage very large projects that are several years long or you have been a team lead on a project, the information in this book is more accessible if you have a background in project management.I do not assume that you’ve used Project or any other project management software. If you’re new to Project, you’ll find what you need to get up to speed, including information on how Project works, finding your way around the Project interface, and building your first Project schedule. If you’ve used an earlier version of Project, you’ll find out about the current version of Microsoft Project and the features it provides. Welcome to the world of computerized project management with Microsoft Project. If you’ve never used project management software, you’re entering a brave new world. Everything you used to do with handwritten to-do lists, sticky notes, word processors, and spreadsheets magically comes together in Project. However, this transition doesn’t come in a moment, and you need a basic understanding of what project management software can do to get you up to speed. If you’ve used previous versions of Project, the overview in this chapter can refresh your memory and ease you into a few of the new Project features. Even if you’re a seasoned project manager, this chapter provides the foundation for how to work with Project.
