About The Author
Unlike most books, this one was not written by an individual or a group of two or three experts. Instead, it was written by a large and diverse group of people from QuantumPM, LLC (QPM). The authors are undeniable experts; they have used this software within our organization and have helped hundreds of customers install and configure the software for their organizations. In addition, the QPM team works closely with the Microsoft team to support the rollout of the product and to provide input for future versions.
QuantumPM, LLC is a consulting firm specializing in strategic and tactical project management services. The company's focus is improvement of organizational bottom lines through effective project and portfolio management, targeting a balance of philosophy and tools. To this end, QuantumPM works closely with Microsoft, Inc. as a Premier Project Partner and with the Project Management Institute as a Registered Education Provider and active participant in standards development and various local chapter activities. These partnerships allow QuantumPM to provide state-of-the-art products and services to our customers.
The authors of the book include people from a variety of roles within the organization. They brought their unique perspectives to this effort and hope to have provided you with a great balance of technical and operational material based on many years of practical application of the product. Following are the QuantumPM team members who worked many long hours to develop the contents of this book: -
Our project manager and miracle worker who managed to get us all to deliver our work as promised: Genie Peshkova. -
Members of our sales and marketing teams who help our customers understand the capabilities of the software as a part of a complete solution for their needs: Greg Bailey, Karla Ferguson, Jim Patterson, and Crystal Trevino. -

Customer Reviews & Comments
This work contains over 800 pages of densly packed information. However at least 600 of those pages are directed towards system administrators who are implementing MS Project Server, not towards Project Managers who wish to use the tool. I purchased the book thinking it would help me use features such as Project Analyzer, Project Center, etc. Less than 140 pages are oriented towards the user. Those pages that are directed towards users describe each feature in detail, but don't present them in the context that a project manager would find appealing. For example, what I would like to know is: "What are the top five views that would most enable a Project Manager to get a better grasp on how the project is doing?" You won't find the information presented in that context.
