Project 2003 Personal Trainer Review by William Franz
Unique approach to training
MS Project is a difficult application to learn (at least for me!)
The workbook format includes a CD that allows the user to "simulate" using the various main aspects of the application (user does not have to own the real MS Project application; the CD provides a simulation). If other trainings include this approach, I haven't seen it. User is asked to respond with the actions she/he would normally use while navigating through MS Project. The visual, auditory and interactive aspects of the simulation engaged me. "Lessons" are very short (couple of minutes). A one question quiz at the end of each lesson is reinforcing and encouraging.
This should NOT be the primary way a user learns MS Project, but it certainly helped me by "holding my hand" as the screen visually walked me through using parts of the program.
Don't let the comic book appearance of the cover scare you. The content of the book is well written. It is not written like a comic book.
This is for the new "newbie" MS Project user; not good for advanced topics.
