In this category you will find all the book reviews I have currently written. Please find the post describing all the book reviews in more detail below or through this direct link. I’ve read all the books you will find on these pages, and doing these book reviews has grown into a little hobby of mine. I do believe I’m currently the only one taking time on his blog to review Microsoft Project related books.
If you are looking for more information about MS Project of Project management and if your tired of surfing the blog pages, here’s where you will find interesting content, ranging from technical (Implementing and Administering Microsoft Project Server 2013) to more soft skills related (Delivering Exceptional Project Results) there is something here to suite any one’s needs. And there is more to come :).
Book review: Microsoft Project 2013 The Missing manual
It’s been a while since I posted a book review. The last one was in Januari and was the Book review: Delivering Exceptional Project Results. Today I would like to review the book “Microsoft Project 2013 The missing manual” by Bonnie Biafore. We know Bonnie from a number of posts I did earlier; another book review and her guest post about multiple baselines.
Bonnie is an active trainer/author on a number of fields. She has writen 27 books (according to her own blog). Ranging from Project Management and Quickbooks to a thriller called Fresh Squeezed.
One reason why it took me so long to write another book review is because the sheer size of this pill, 786 pages thick! Let’s take a closer look at the book!

Book review: Delivering Exceptional Project Results
Another book about Project Management, written by Jamal Moustafaev (president and founder of Thinktank consulting, among other achievements). I bought this book back when EPM 2010 was brand new. The reason why I bought the book was simple; I was looking for a book that had more information on Portfolio management and particularly on Portfolio Selection. This was because the Project Server 2010 version has the portfolio selection module imbedded out of the box, and that was a separate product in earlier versions.
I wanted to read up on Portfolio management because I thought it would become the next big thing in the Project Server world and I knew nothing about it. And the sub title triggered me to get this book: A practical guide to project selection, scoping, estimation and management. Sounds promising right?

Book review: Forecast scheduling with Microsoft Project 2013
In the time I was busy settling in, in my new role as a dad I got an interesting offer. I was asked by Eric Uyttewaal to join the team to review his new book pre-release. A chance to get my hands on a book before it even hit the shelves, cool! Needless to say I took the opportunity with both hands.
Today the book came in the mail, crispy new. Sadly, this is all I have to show for my reviewing actions, due to limited time as a new dad, and some e-mail trouble, only 3 of the 13 chapters I reviewed got to the team. That’s the reason, I believe, you will not find me in the acknowledgements on page 3.

Book review: Proactive PPM with Microsoft Project 2013
Finally I got to it. Another book review on Project Server and this time even Project Online! I met the guys at Sensei Project Solutions at the Project Conference in Anaheim. They are a great source of Project Server information, I followed a number of their presentations and also talked to the author of the book; Kenneth Steiness.
Microsoft also acknowledges the company by making it partner of the year 2014. Congratulations guys!
