I’ve fallen more than a bit behind on my reading. I’ve got a stack of books here that I keep meaning to read, skim, review, etc. I did get a chance to take a look at one in the last few weeks and I’m glad I did. The book, SharePoint for Project Management, is a book I can respect. Why? Well, it’s a very practical how-to guide for using SharePoint for Project Management (one of its strengths). In some ways I think of it as The SharePoint Shepherd’s Guide for End Users with a slant towards project management.

If you are already familiar with SharePoint, then this book would be nonsensical to read. If you are new to SharePoint and want to know more about how it can help you manage projects in SharePoint, this book may be helpful.

Not an incredibly useful book, but it did have a couple of helpful sections. Still, I think I probably could have gotten the same info from any online tutorial (which would probably never say NOT! at the end of a sentence.)

Read for a Tech Static review. Nice overview of how to use SharePoint if you know project management concepts.

Good book as an introduction to Microsoft Sharepoint which our office uses.

Not a bad book, but I thought it was going to have a little more meat on the bones. I don't really think there is much in here that isn't in a good SharePoint introduction.

It explained SharePoint well, however, I was already familiar what sharepoint and I found it redundant to what I already knew.
