 A Project StrollNov 22, 2007
By J. Medearis
This has been a great book for learning Project 2007. If you already know Project, it does a great job of providing review material, guiding you away from unnecessary chapters. If you have never really spent time with Project, this book does a very good job of walking you through, Step by Step, aspects and capabilities of Project, as well as exposing you to solid project management practices.

Full and PracticalMay 17, 2007
By Raul
"Ratamahata"
Once I get a Step by Step series book, and its operating model is just what you need if you start from scratch or you're an advanced specialist looking for updates. Very precise and clear explanations and companion CD with samples files for practicing just rocks!, you have the entire scenario and just need to get creative to escalate your neverending questions to the sample scenario, which is just as clear to see as on the field.
2007 version is just what I spected from the book, covering every topic from basic use to advanced control and tracking and integration with Project Server. You can notice PMI orientation in product, and that's quite good worked on the book.
I missed some information regarding some intelligence moved from Office Project to PWA (Server), like enterprise fields and server settings (well I supposed I'll get new stuff from the next MOC for Project Server)
If you want to solve questions regarding the use of the product, or maybe you're trying to get quite the expertise for a terrific project management,this book will do the job

MS Office Project 2007Sep 21, 2007
By Z. Hunter
"Life-long Learner"
I bought this book because it was recommended for an online-college course that I am taking. I couldn't believe that the same book was much higher in price on several other websites and how affordable it was to get through Amazon. The book itself is excellent as it gives step-by-step directions on how to use the project. It is an excellent resource and very easy to use. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking detailed, but easy to understand directions regarding the product it is designed for.

 Great Book I also thing you will find MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-632) just as goodJan 03, 2009
By Charles Alfred Walters
I first read all the reviews before purchasing this book. I did see other MS Project 2007 books that are more (in the classroom) type and would have liked to have gotten them; such as Microsoft Official Academic Course Series, Or MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-632): Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 and Ultimate Learning Guide to Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Epm Learning), but since most of them didn't have a review and they were a little more costly I decided to go with the Step by Step book.
So far at this time of writing my review I am on chapter 5. My only complaint is that the book instructs you to use the CD for each chapter in the book there is a folder on the CD for you to use. Now instead of you building your project from scratch (which I would prefer to do) The MS CD for each chapter has added more than what they had told you to ad in the previous chapters, so if you decide to use the same saved project folder and continue on through the book you will find yourself adding things that you weren't told to add in the last chapter(s).
Example: in chapter 3 you add names to the Assign Resources. Jonathan Mollerup, Jon Ganio, Garrett R. Vargas and John Rodman, however should you continue on to chapter 4 and not using the chapter 4 folder you will see that you need to add nanes like Scott cooper and Patti Mintz.
Now what I am really trying to say here is, instead of having to open and work with a new folder for each chapter just continue to build in/on the project you first create. The MS Step by Step book can give you all the information to enter, but they don't do that.
Oh, and I really give the book a 4 ½ stars.
Note: so you can create one project folder and work through all the chapters, but you will need to add names and other information as you move on, which I have found to be a good thing because you will have to remember where to go to add the stuff in without the book telling you. Good for memorization!

Incredible MS Project ReferenceOct 29, 2008
By Kris R. Trafton
"Kris Trafton"
One of the best reference books I have ever read (and I have read a lot of them). The authors take you 'step by step' through every critical feature in MS Project. The procedures are very straightforward; there is virtually no way to screw up their instructions. Even if you know nothing about project management, you will have no trouble with this book. In fact, this book will teach you more than how to use MS Project, it will also teach you about project management. I really can't say enough positive things about this book.
My only small criticism is that many of the figures are not labeled. I found myself labeling some of the more ambiguous figures myself.
Nonetheless, I still have no trouble giving this book 5 stars.
