The Visio 2007 Bible covers all the standard Visio techniques, from basics like drag and drop to advanced features such as customizing ShapeSheets. Even if you're familiar with the basic Visio concepts, you can pick up some productivity-enhancing tips throughout the book. In addition, three parts of the book give detailed instructions on how to use ALL of the built-in templates, whether you use Visio for information technology, architecture and engineering, or office productivity. Even better, I've spiffed this edition of the book up with more of my off-kilter humor. |

I wrote this book and it is supposed to be a book about project management with some tips about using Microsoft Project and other programs effectively to manage projects. It is not intended to be a how-to guide for Microsoft Project from start to finish, although it includes techniques that I use all the time to manage projects. I am a PMI-certified Project Management Professional and I manage projects for clients in many industries. The motivation to write this book came from the advice I've had to provide to new (and some more experienced) project managers on many projects. The idea is to help people relatively new to project management learn about the tasks they should perform to manage a project successfully and how to use Project and other Microsoft programs practically in those endeavors. For example, some folks break down work into way too much detail and try to track it all in Project. This book explains how to figure out how far to break work down and where to store all the details that don't go into a PRoject schedule. The book also includes tips for using Word, Excel, Access, and other programs in project management tasks. The book was published by Microsoft Press, hence the reference to Microsoft Project in the book title. I am sorry if the title is misleading--I can't do anything about that. |
