- Define your project and plan your approach
- Estimate your project, set up a budget, define tasks, and break the work into manageable chunks
- Create a schedule, define the sequence of work, and learn the right way to use date constraints and deadlines
- Build a project team and assign resources to tasks: "who does what"
- Refine the project to satisfy objectives by building reality into the schedule, and learn to keep project costs under control
- Track progress and communicate with team members via reports, information sharing, and meetings that work
- Close out your project and take away valuable lessons for the future
Microsoft Project 2007 is the flagship of all project management programs, and this Missing Manual is the book that should have been in the box. No project manager should be without it.
