Microsoft Project 2013 Plain & Simple Review: KISS works for me... - Great book in it's simplicity. I was rushing headlong onto the deadline of a 3 year project that was 2 1/2 years late; not to mention I was tasked to it 1 1/2 years before deadline (3 other contractors and 3 other PMO's had already gone by the wayside.) I am not a PM professional, just an interested stakeholder who was getting majorly pee'd-O in having the project constantly going off track and crashing. I needed to get a handle on the project and it was like trying to balance on a moving training highballing to a deadend trestle. The data was there in a ppm format, I just need a way to pull it up and see where I was at. This tome is as the title portrays: getting through it was "short and basic." But given my time contraints, that was exactly what I needed. Getting through it gave you the basics of what everything did and where it was if you had to find it; and enough of the language to be able to quiry the help systems to get you close to what you wanted to do. The walk throughs and example with either made up data or "working" data took you to points where you could adapt the techiques and tools to what you had to do. Or got you close enough to work your way to what you wanted to show. It is not a know all, do all, book, but a good basic starter. Once you get going, you can look for other texts on specific topics areas you need to work on. I recommend this to anyone who needs to do a quick study of Project 2013, who has little knowledge of scheduling, and has to start to work in 0-60. Review: Pretty Good General Guide for using Microsoft Project 2013 - I'm new to using MS Project, and don't have the option for guided learning, so I purchased this book about a month ago to help me get started on my own. So far, I think that it's a pretty good general guide for using Microsoft Project 2013. The index is fairly comprehensive, and if you know what you're looking for it will direct you to the appropriate part of the book. The first 60 pages of the book are all introductory - how to use the book as a reference and getting down the basics of Project. It's written in a very simple and straightforward manner, so it's great if you're a Project newbie like myself. It's also incredibly well-illustrated (multiple labeled screenshots for almost everything!) and succinct. However, it's not really great for troubleshooting. In my case, I was given a schedule to work with that already had problems - and you kind of need to know what the problem is that you're having before you can look up the step-by-step process to fix it. However, this book works fabulously as a supplement to internet searches. The diagrams are all full-color, and the text each section is color-coded. This makes it really easy to flip right to the section that you're looking for, or to browse within a section. I was a little disappointed with how thin the paper in this book is, though. It seems a little flimsy, and the printing on the other side of the page and on the next page shows through. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,551,573 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #151 in Microsoft Project Guides #4,526 in Enterprise Applications #54,159 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (66) | | Dimensions | 9.75 x 0.5 x 7.5 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0735671990 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0735671997 | | Item Weight | 1.04 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | June 8, 2013 | | Publisher | Microsoft Pr | ## Images ![Microsoft Project 2013 Plain & Simple - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81753YlxX7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ KISS works for me... *by P***R on February 24, 2015* Great book in it's simplicity.

What makes this book stand-out in comparison to other similar books is that it presents the tools and skills that new project managers need to quickly get abreast in the use of Microsoft Project software. Experienced Project Managers will also find it invaluable as it helps them to quickly set up and use the Microsoft project software. The approach use in its presentation and the colorful step-by-step guidance provided will be appreciated by new users who will find it a quick and ready hands-on reference book. Trainers will also find it a helpful recommended book to their students as well. There is always a place and time for more in depth coverage of any software training especially for more experienced Project Management professionals and users of project management software. Such approaches could make the learning and use of Microsoft Project software a more daunting task for new users. In my opinion, the method used by the author avoid this pitfall. It presents new users a gentle learning curve that helps them to build their experiences grounds-up before delving into more in-depth, voluminous and time demanding approach used in other texts. This book will help you to learn and use Microsoft Project within the shortest possible time. It is highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/1703855-microsoft-project-2013-plain-and-simple](https://www.desertcart.es/products/1703855-microsoft-project-2013-plain-and-simple) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
