5.0 out of 5 starsA must have reference book for MS Project 2013 desktop.
By Ellen Lehnert, MVP on August 27, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Bonnie takes a real world approach to project management and applying those principles to MS Project. MS Project works more productively for the user if they have a process and a goal for developing schedules. Her methodology of project process first and then apply the process with example for using the software is spot on. For many years I have used MS Project 2010 Missing Manual as the text I distribute in my classes and I look forward to using MS Project 2013 as I continue to teach MS Project.

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely BEST Series of Books Out There
By Jason Saetrum on March 1, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I teach certification courses and consider myself a power user. I always look for a print or online copy of "the missing manual" books. The publishers are discerning on who they let write for them. The authors provide poignant insight, step-by-step guidance, real-world tips-and-tricks, and etc. Since my first MM book 6 years ago, I've never been disappointed. Reminder: Once you purchase the book, go get your "missing cd" files to accompany the examples.

5.0 out of 5 starsProject Managers Best Reference book for using MS Project 2013
By Michael Wharton on June 28, 2013
Format: Paperback
I recommend this book for any project manager who depends on using Microsoft project for scheduling. This was the first book publish on Project 2013 and it captures all the new features with using project 2013. The author also does a good job covering all the existing features of project. This book is more than a step by step procedure for using project; she also explains the "why" for so many features. This book should be in all project managers library.

By Bill on September 13, 2013

Ms. Biafore has provided an excellent introduction to Project planning and use of Microsoft's software. The book is well designed and the illustrations and diagrams are very useful. Excellent introduction to Project.

3.0 out of 5 starsI rented the Kindle version which made it very easy to search and find different things in the book
By Sam H. on March 19, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I only used it a couple times for class. It went into more detail about different things than my textbook did; however, I barely used it throughout the quarter. I rented the Kindle version which made it very easy to search and find different things in the book.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother Good "Right-Hand Man"
By Tony G. on August 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Another one of those books that become a critical item if you work with this program . . . I find it useful as a "go-to" tool when I get stuck attempting to do something new with this program. Definitely a welcomed "right hand man" when your stuck!!!

3.0 out of 5 starsValuable, verbose
By Dimitri Shvorob on March 11, 2015
Format: Paperback
The one-star reviews should just be ignored, but the five-star ones, in my opinion, overstate the case. What is really missing is a decisive editor: the book takes too long to explain things, and sometimes goes in circles, and not in a way that suggests pedagogical intent. As the book seeks to offer an introduction to project management, not just Microsoft Project, that "soft" material, too, takes up space, and actually distracts and detracts from its coverage of Microsoft Project. Contrast to "Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007" by Ballew, Reynolds and (surprise!) Biafore, which keeps the "soft stuff" in check, and manages to effectively explain Microsoft Project - alas, an older edition of it. I would not recommend "Microsoft Project 2013: The Missing Manual" to Microsoft Project novices, and point them instead to "Microsoft Project 2013 Step by Step" by Chatfield and Johnson.

1.0 out of 5 starsAnnoying
By Marten K on December 26, 2013
Format: Paperback
Microsoft Project is an application designed to assist with the documentation and management of projects. This manual does not focus on the use of the application and instead meanders around the topic of project management itself.

If you are oblivious to fact that projects have aspects such milestones, resource allocations and end dates and would like to be drawn into an extensive conversation around such topics, then this book may be fine.

But if you understand and have established projects before, and just want an effective book to assist with Microsoft Project 2013 itself then this is not for you. It will waste your time.

addendum: Instead I also bought Microsoft Project 2013 Plain & Simple - Plain and Simple Microsoft Project? yes; colorful? yes; easy to follow? yes; a manual? no; tells you how to suck eggs? no.
