This book restates in somewhat clearer terms what the standard SAP documentation will tell you. It does not address the underlying principles of Project Management. The reader expected a treatise on Project Management and how SAP supports the various philosophies, strategies, tactics and techniques, instead, the writer merely glosses over the project management aspects and writes a series of explanations of SAP functionality within the Project System module. A better title would have been "SAP R/3 Project System - The Basic Functions". For the reader that does not have access to SAP documentation (avaliable free from SAP), or is interested in reviewing the standard delivered functions of the Project System module, this book covers the basics...

I really appriciate the author for his effors, The book would have been much better, if it was in the format like SAP-SD by Glen Williams.
The author really needs to explain each field in detail ,as done in SAP-SD by Glen Williams.
The SAP version covered in the book is old 3.0F, We need atleast 4.7 version or even better my SAP ERP.
The author needs to explain basics better.
Customizing needs to be explained in detail ,with flow charts showing the movement of data.
Different types of projects need to be covered like
1)Customer Projects 2)Investment projects 3)R&D Projects
The Controlling aspects related to SAP-P.S must be explained in detail.
Pls give T-codes and Menu Path where ever required.
If the pattern of SAP training material is followed ,It would make the book much better.
We really require good books on SAP-P.S since there are no other books available apart from this.

This step by step detailed project management book by draeger really forcemultipied our understanding of Time schduling of Projects in SAP R/3. The book shows appropriate screen shots at relevant points to have a better understanding of the funcntionality.

I would have given this a 5 star but because of not covering external processing and general cost on the activities. Besides, the SAP version covered in the book is a little bit old 3.0F

This book is useful to understand SAP PS.It will take you from general project management to SAP Project mangement in a logical manner.The version used in this book is old.If transaction codes are given this book will be more useful.

This book introduces a novice to SAP Project System. Written in simple and precise language, this book have several examples and screenshots which makes it interesting.

A small modification in the organization of the book would make the flow of thought easy for a new reader. (rather a reader can read the book in the following manner)

5 - Implementation strategy

1 - Basics

2 - Project System in SAP

4 - Customizing

3 - Practical Example

6 - Summary

Overall, the book given a good introduction to Project System in SAP.

This book is usefull for people without prior project management experience in ERP (and not only ERP) implementations. It is well organized and has a nice sequence of chapters. If someone already has experience in project management, then it is just a different opinion on the subject.
