Welcome to Show Me Microsoft Office Project 2003, a visual quick reference book that shows you how to work efficiently with Project 2003. This book provides complete coverage of basic and intermediate Project 2003 skills.

This book covers the basic, common operations of the desktop application Microsoft Project. Microsoft Project can be installed as part of a deployment of Project Server 2003, but this book does not cover the use of Project as part of a Project Server deployment. Using Project Professional with Project Server adds several features and tools you can use to manage your schedules and resource usage. These topics are beyond the scope of this book.

Show Me Microsoft Office Project 2003 covers all the most important Project tasks using clear, step-by-step instructions, and is illustrated with hundreds of helpful screenshots. This easy-to-use book includes Show Me Live! Software that shows you how to perform everyday tasks and helps you gain real-world project experience. Other features include PM Focus, a full sidebar page with project management related information explaining when and why you might use a particular Project function.

The book is perfect for the advanced beginner to intermediate user who has limited experience with Project and who wants to learn through a highly visual, less text extensive approach. Because it is a task-based reference, it is also great for previous version users who want to quickly get up to speed on a new version.
