Book Reviews: Tricks and Traps” is a great title, it really sums up what this book is about. For professional planners, we need to be aware of how the tool behaves and ensure that the outputs of the planning & scheduling process are what we expect. Microsoft Project is an extremely capable tool, but in the quest to make the tool easier to use and more capable, the designers have programmed in a number of traps for the unwary. For people new to scheduling, for those transitioning from other tools, they need to understand the behaviour and limitations of the tool. More importantly, with the knowledge gained from Paul, they can apply his tips and tricks as well as avoid the traps and complexity.” Martin Vaughan, Director, Core Consulting Group, Melbourne, Australia.
