A guide to Microsoft Project that focuses on developing a successful project management strategy across the organization to drive better decisions
Making Effective Business Decisions Using Microsoft Project goes far beyond the basics of managing projects with Microsoft Project and how to set up and use the software. This unique guide is an indispensable resource for anyone who operates within a Project Management Operation (PMO) or is affected by the adoption of project management within an organization. Its focus is to provide practical and transitional information for those who are charged with making decisions and supporting corporate and strategic objectives, and who face cost and resource constraints.
Because more and more companies are aligning project management with their business strategies, the book not only provides guidance on using Microsoft Project and teaching project management skills, but also includes important information on measuring results and communicating with the executive branch. It also provides valuable guidance in using SharePoint Server for social networking and working within a team.
Clearly written and presented, the book:
- Covers work management using Microsoft Project at multiple levels within an organization
- Focuses on using Microsoft Project 2010 to integrate and support overall organizational strategies
- Includes hundreds of graphics, screen shots, and annotations that make it the most accessible and usable guide available on the subject
Making Effective Business Decisions Using Microsoft Project is a valuable reference for project managers at all levels, and it sets a new standard for training manuals used by businesses that teach courses on project management using Microsoft Project.

Gold Standard for EPM Planning and Implementation
By Michael Wharton
This book is the gold standard for implementing an EPM (Enterprise Portfolio Management) in organization. Tim and Doc cover all the groundwork for planning and implementing a successful EPM using Project Server 2010. The same concepts hold true for Project Server 2013 even though the book as based on 2010. And to be honest, most of its concepts would work for other EPM software tools.
Over the past ten years I have implemented many EPM using project server and found this book has both validated my understanding and techniques of EPM implementation. I also learned new concepts and techniques of EPM planning and implementation that will improve my skills.

Reads like an extended sales pitch
By Mike
I have a few of issues with this book:
1) It should have been emphasized in the title that this is a Microsoft Project Server (MSPS) 2010 book (rather than vanilla Microsoft Project).
2) It's targeted at large businesses - very few SMBs will have a dedicated project management office (PMO).
3) Read like a sales pitch for MSPS 2010 in many places.
For someone working in a large enterprise this may be useful (only cursory mention of small businesses is made in the book) assuming the company has or is willing to install MSPS 2010 and its associated add-ons. Not what I was expecting.

OPM CoP Volunteer Book Reviewer: Angela Wilson, PMP, PMI Houston Chapter, OPM COP book review member
By Latyr
“Making Effective Business Decisions using Microsoft Project” by Tim Runcie and Mark Dochtermann is particularly useful for the optimization of a project anagement strategy to drive better business decisions across an organization. The authors provide a valuable viewpoint for the business user for the establishment of an Enterprise Project Portfolio Management system utilizing features and integration of applications Microsoft Project 2010, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft Project Server 2010. The book moreover provides a look in to concepts such as basic project management, understanding business drivers and strategic planning.
I found chapters five – End Users’ Critical Success Factors: Using MS Project 2010 – and nine – Intelligent Business Planning and Controlling Using Microsoft Project 2010 - most interesting and applicable at the point I am in my Project Management career. I will be focusing on these two chapters in my review, but would encourage PMs to add this book to their libraries for reference to a wide range of topics. The authors provide many techniques to assist the Project Manager in optimizing their projects.
Chapter five reviews the basics of project management from the initiation phase to the closing phase, leading to the utilization of Microsoft Project Desktop Client for the higher level of work management required of today’s organizations. The Chapter notes critical success factors that can influence the suitable use of the application through the project lifecycle. The authors state, “Scalability, configurability, ease of use, integration, and collaboration are five key factors that will positively impact organizational effectiveness and end user satisfaction.” (p. 133)
Walking through key steps, the chapter takes the reader through creating schedules, resource planning and calendars. The book provides information for the Add-Ins feature to assist the business user in the development of these important jobs available in Microsoft Project from Critical Tools. The WBS Chart Pro Add-In offers a different method for displaying the project from the widely used Gantt Chart, while the PERT Chart EXPERT Add-In provides charts and diagrams for illustrating tasks dependencies. These tools can provide increased productivity in the working, planning and scheduling of a project. The Task Inspector tool is another useful feature of Project 2010 desktop assisting the business user in accurately identifying scheduling conflicts and choosing an appropriate course of action. An additional feature, new to Microsoft Project Pro 2010, is Team Planner allowing increased visibility to a team’s work.
The chapter continues in to the section “Being an Effective Enterprise Project Manager using Microsoft Project Server” (p. 161) taking the reader through key steps of using the Microsoft Project Server 2010 tool. Focusing on the areas of ‘Enterprise Project Scheduling’ (p. 161), ‘Enterprise Resource Planning’ (p. 164), and ‘Managing Enterprise Projects’ (p. 166), instructions and screen shots assist the business user in the high level of organization and management being sought for Enterprise Project Management (EPM) development.
Usability, impact and organizational readiness are elements the authors suggest be used to create a collaborative result for a business’ objectives, stating:
“By doing so, ultimately organizations will drive both top- and bottom-line growth for the business as a whole.
A well-designed and sustainable collaboration platform needs to fulfill two key objectives:
1. It has to be so intuitive to use that there is no appreciable learning curve.
2. It has to be configurable and extensible so that more advanced users can adapt it to their specific needs.
Project and Project Server 2010 fulfill these two key objectives offering best-in-class capabilities enabled by the extensibility of the platform architecture.” (p. 169)
As a PM, a major factor to the success of any project is understanding the business drivers, how the projects fit with the business direction, mission and values and how the project will or can be impacted
Business drivers are defined in this book as, “the main factors and resources that provide the essential products, services, marketing, sales and operational functions of a business “ and “the people, information, and tasks that support the fulfillment of a business objective.” (p. 259)
Prioritization is part of the process to define the business drivers in Project Server 2010 along with how the projects are to be measured and creating the impact statements. Chapter nine takes the business user through creating, editing and deleting the business drivers in the tool. The chapter also provides instructions and screen shots for setting up custom fields and lookup tables, and creating stages and phases in the tool.
The business drivers are important to the success of the project. However, a PM must, and probably first, recognize the organizations business strategies. Tying projects to an organizations goals is essential to Organizational Project Management.
Chapter nine continues by providing the reader with the definition of strategic planning as being ‘the process by which leaders of an organization determine what the organization intends to be in the future and how it will get there.” The chapter flowed through concepts such as Using Project Server to Master Demand Management, Building Project Selection Criteria, Working with Constraints in Portfolio Planning, Portfolios and Measuring For ROI, PMO Governance and Competencies. These sections, along with others, provide detailed directions with
I started this project with great anticipation of the topic I was reviewing, hoping in addition to providing our Organization Project Management Community of Practice a useful assessment, to also learn about the Microsoft Project tools relationships and uses. I became burdened with the task, though, because I feel the book as a whole does not flow intuitively, rather it jumps from one topic to the next with the only common thread being the use of Microsoft tools. This book is not for a beginner who has no or minimal knowledge of Microsoft Project 2010 and/or the other Microsoft tools featured and in Project Management. I can imagine the book would be a great resource for current users of the tools and people well in to their Project Management careers.
