Microsoft Office Excel 2007 for Project Managers
Chapter One
Establishing Project
Management
Fundamentals
This chapter will start us off with the fundamentals of project
management. We want to make sure that your understanding of
project management is in line with ours, because after all, there
is more than one way to manage a project. If your experience is like ours, you probably tried
several approaches until you found one that worked for you. For some, the process of managing
a project, organizing data, and communicating with stakeholders and team members comes
naturally. For others, let's just say there were a few knocks along the way and finding a system
that works is still somewhat of a struggle. No matter how you manage a project or what your
understanding of project management processes is, we're going to set the foundation here and
walk you through a process that incorporates sound project management principles with the
benefits of Excel 2007 (and other Office 2007 products) to manage your projects and project
data more efficiently.
