Features: Project management is a highly complex systematic engineering, and its success or failure often depends on whether communication is smooth. According to surveys, poor communication can lead to a project risk level as high as 70%. Communication in project management includes interactions in the information generation process and secure sharing of information, such as communication during project planning, reporting on plan execution, communicating plan changes, discussing resource requirements and usage, reviewing and securely sharing project documents, and communicating project risks and controls. So, how can we ensure smooth communication during project management to reduce risks? Project2003 is the tool that can help us minimize risks. The advantages of Project2003 lie in its provision of numerous new features that meet enterprise-level project management needs, which were not previously addressed for individual needs. Practice has proven that these features are highly practical and effective. This book comprehensively introduces the installation, configuration, and operation of the Project2003 enterprise-level project management software environment, combined with a project management methodology system, and presents practical project management techniques and implementation skills. The book covers project management fundamentals, system architecture, ProjectServer2003 installation, case studies of operations, creating and editing new projects, organizing and establishing tasks, setting up and allocating resources, resource allocation and costs, scheduling project timelines, project tracking and management, querying and filtering project information, report generation and printing, managing ProjectServer, and communication and collaboration on projects. This book is particularly suitable for project management personnel to self-study based on their practical work, and can also serve as teaching materials and training materials for project management personnel.
