MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-632): Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this book to prepare for the MCTS: 70-632 and passed it on my first try using this book and years of experience with Microsoft Project 2003 and recently Microsoft Project 2007.The practice exam on the CD was pretty good - there were about 5 questions out of 200 where I and even the other Microsoft Project 2007 did not agree with the author.If you are studying for the certification, go through every page, chapter test and the CD.Also, you will need to understand a lot Task Type and Effort Driven Scheduling (predict durations, work calculations and overall impact to your WBS), Resourcing Project Plans (forecasting time-phase generic skills, using resource pools.

I estimated about 50 percent was technical (using Project 2007) and 50 percent knowledge on Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).

(More customer reviews)Another gem in the Missing Manual line of books.This book makes learning Microsoft Project 2010 easy breezy and fun to boot!Spanned over 700+ pages and 27 chapters of smoooooth writing and easy to follow examples, the author does a grandiose job of turning newbie users into experienced ones in no time at all.From the basics of Project to setting up schedules to assigning tasks to making changes to tracking progress to getting your schedule on the web, this is an all in one solution.

If you need to learn Microsoft Project, look no further.The Missing Manual line is known for its high quality products, and this one fits the bill.My only caveat is that I wish there was some color in the book to spice things up, but it's not essential.

Buy It.

(More customer reviews)Excellent book. It is well written and the subject matter is spot on. If you need to learn Microsoft's Project 2010 in addition to getting up to speed (or re-hone) Project Management skills and theory, this is the book to get. It should be required reading for all Project Managers that are currently using or going to upgrade to Microsoft's Project 2010. I have taken Masters Level Project Management courses and this book can be used to supplement course material. It is a first rate subject matter book.
