Summary
Microsoft Project has a steep learning curve but reading this book will have helped you surmount this with ease. New learners tend to commit the same patterns of errors, and in this chapter, you have learned to identify these patterns. Now, you will have the ability to avoid these patterns in your own work and recognize them in other schedules that you will review. All such error patterns should be identified and ironed out systematically during project reviews, throughout the project life cycle.
