Now included with Microsoft Office, Project 2003 is the world's leading project management tool. With extensive help resources and printing assistance, Project 2003 enables users to organize and track tasks and resources efficiently to keep projects on time and within budget.
If you want to realize the immense potential of Microsoft Project 2003 and harness the many features and functionality of this powerful tool, you need Project 2003 Personal Trainer.

Beginning with the fundamentals of planning and managing a project with Microsoft Project 2003, the book then includes sections on:
* working with the task list

* using the project database
* viewing and updating a project
* tracking progress
