- Providing a comprehensive table of contents and index of all topics.
The books follow a logical approach to project schedule development, enabling the user to progress from the definition of project attributes, to the definition of WBS, activities and relationship, and the subsequent creation of resource assignment and the development of the project coding structures. They also allow the users to learn through self-paced training as well as allowing the content to be delivered in a classroom workshop environment. The extent of the material covered by the books ensures that the manuals remain a source of useful reference even after the initial training has been completed.
