MS-Project For Complex Products

What do you like best? Degree of depth of detail available, as well as use as a reporting tool when exporting information and schedules and forecasts from other systems. In addition, for users coming from other platforms, the transition and switch is usually painless and relatively quick. An experienced project manager or assistant can learn Project sufficiently to operate its basic features with good competency within a month. What do you dislike? Since there is a very rich feature ...

Microsoft Project Planner is very handy and intuitive

What do you like best? The UI is very obvious while you enter the Project Tasks breakdown. I like the way it autocalculates the dates for each task and its very satisfying to see the final project delivery date it gives finally. What do you dislike? Sometimes, it is hard to gets the date right once you want to modify the existing Project Plan. You need to manually blank out the dates and then refill the latest dates in order to auto-calculate the timeline. Also the hard part is to ...

My Experience with Microsoft Project

What do you like best? I like MS Project because for a low cost solution, it is easy to use, and fairly detailed. What do you dislike? That it is not more user friendly, and that it relies on other outside software to function. It should be a 100% stand-alone solution. Recommendations to others considering the product If you get to a point to where you want to have more built-in features, I recommend that you look around a little. The problem with Microsoft is that they seem to ...

Experience Project Manager Using MS Project

What do you like best? I like how easy it is to move or update tasks in bulk. I also like how easy it is to create dependencies. What do you dislike? I hate the visualization of this product. The user interface and visualization of tasks could be so much prettier, simpler, and user-friendly. It is not easy to share project plans with others in a way that allows them to easily understand the plan or see a high-level, overarching timeline of the project. What business problems are you ...

The Obvious Project Tool

What do you like best? This software is a monster. The amount of things you can do with MS Project is nearly unlimited. it is by far the best tool for building a work breakdown structure (WBS, task list, schedule and finding task precedence to plan, control monitor and track, and close out a project. Having been certified by the Project Management Institute, this is the best software to follow along with the methods from the Project management body of knowledge (PMBOK. What do you ...
