Purchase Making Effective Business Decisions Using Microsoft Project
This has me thinking of purchasing the book. I actually use Microsoft project and I know I am not using it to its fullest potential and this book sounds like it can help me get to that level. I do have a question, will there be a CD to help with visual learners or to do practice runs on certain aspects of the software?

In response to the demand for interactive tutorials based on the book content, a new website page is currently being constructed as an additional resource for this book.
Advisicon also offers a Managing Projects with Microsoft Project 2010 class in our interactive training room in Vancouver, WA. which is highly effective in learning this material and an excellent resource for visual learners.
I’m looking forward to reading this book. I’ve really been trying to use Microsoft Project for awhile now, and the software just has so many tools I have yet to utilize. I’m very excited to discover the all the short cuts so I can better organize my business.
Thanks Nicole! Looking forward to reading the book!
