This is not just another book on managing projects with Microsoft Project or how to set upand use the software. This book is designed to be read and referenced by those who operate within a Project Management Operation or PMO, or are affected by the adoption of project management within the organization. The focus of this book is to provide practical and transitional information for those who are tasked with making decisions, supporting corporate/strategic objectives and face cost and resource constraints. Because more and more companies are aligning project management with their business strategies the book will not only provide guidance on using Microsoft Project, and on teaching project management skills, but will include important information on measuring results and communicatinging to the executive branch. It also will cover social networking and working within a team using SharePoint Server.
