Book Review: SharePoint 2010 for Project Management by Dux Raymond Sy; O'Reilly Media


I must admit that I am big fan of SharePoint. SharePoint for Project Management is really a good book which is authored by Dux Raymond Sy. This 256 page book is geared towards a novice, intermediate, and project manager user to understand the basics of SharePoint 2010.  The book is broken down into nine chapters starting with what is PMIS(Project Management Information Systems) to understanding lists, project tasks(best way to track projects), versioning, and much more as it focuses on project management best practices.

I like the fact that each chapter have well-organized workshop or examples that you can you follow as you read along as well as practice what you learn. Being geared toward the project manager role, this allows for the project manager to enhance the quality of each project.
 

I like the fact that the author addresses what is clearly more is at stake when using PMIS which includes the following:
  • quality logs
  • status reporting
  • calendars
  • contact information
Again, I find the book to be good for beginners as it covers the basics of what SharePoint is and the concept of PMIS. It does not fully elaborate on project management for project managers.
 
I would definitely recommend this book to purchase for someone who is a beginner in SharePoint.
