Great tool for project planning and management!
Our organization uses Microsoft Project mostly by department. We use this software for various projects such as strategic plans and it's great for creating interactive charts. It offers different views from calendar to diagram view. We share projects timelines among other team members and use it mainly around committee meetings. We use it for team management, project sharing, project status and keeping on time with projects and timelines.
- Interactive gantt charts, you are able to customize, great for project management, planning. The diagram designs tool allows you to track progress.
- Integrated project management tool, keep track of timelines, projects, share with others and track progress and easy way to manage projects
- Streamlined project planning, sharing tools, ability to place files in shared drive.
- Very attractive, user friendly software
- Array of features from progress monitoring, risk issues, integration with SharePoint
- So many tools, users could be overwhelmed and you need to be familiar with tools and it takes a while to adapt to the software. You may even need to be a semi experienced project manager to use the tools. There is a learning curve.
- Sometimes custom fields are not able to be shared, integrated with SharePoint files
- Expensive software for some businesses
- Customer support is not always available
- Limit to available licenses, may be an issue for organizations who require multiple users at a time
- Time management, it has allowed us to complete and execute projects a lot quicker time within the department.
- Easily able to share projects, keep track of timelines
- Ability to assign projects to others and keep track of progress.
- Allows us to quickly work on projects easily as a team
I have used Basecamp which I recommend for all! This is one of my top tools for not only company projects however for projects, meetings, communication outside of work. We use Basecamp for our membership organization's dental meetings in other states to communicate events, chat with participants, send donation requests and organize events on the platform. There really is no learning curve, it's super user friendly, you don't need any experience prior and it's cost effective.
We use Microsoft Project Server for project planning: tasks assignment, project team management, resources allocation, project cost and tracking. In our organization it is used by the software development team. It provides us a unique place to manage all the software development projects and also enables the team members to update the progress of their tasks which reflects in the project plan.
- Project planning: tasks assignments, resources allocation, progress and cost tracking. The Server version is the natural extension of the Microsoft Project standalone.
- Provides one place to manage all projects, accessible by everyone in the team. This opens the plan updates to team members as well(on their tasks), as opposed to being done only by the project manager.
- Reporting and visualization - resources utilization, timeline etc
- The integration with the Microsoft Project standalone: if you don't like the web version, you can download the latest and work locally. When done just sync it back to the server.
- In many cases the server or cloud version of any tool will have some limitations compared to the standalone version. It is the same here, however the existing integration between the two will help you work locally and upload changes to the server if you don't feel comfortable working on the web version.
- The learning curve for both Microsoft Project and the server version tends to be steep for some users
- Needs an Outlook integration
- The cost for implementation and licensing needs improvement, it can be very expensive for some smaller companies.
- It helped reducing the cost with managing the projects by reducing the time spent by project managers tracking everything offline and in different ways(i.e. Excel)
- It reduced the time for reaching the milestones in the projects. Having the visibility into the up-to-date status of the project will enable the project manager taking the right actions and decisions at the right time.
- Resource sharing across projects helped keeping the people 100% utilized.
We tried few years ago to use Basecamp for our project management. Even though Basecamp is a much more easier to use tool with nice visualization and graphics, it didn't work out because the project managers are more use to the Excel way of doing things, which Project Professional and Project Server are doing.
