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
Microsoft Project Server I believe is best for any organization from small to large. As I mentioned, it is a little pricey so I would do research into alternative software and depending on your needs maybe look at all options, competing software. This is a tool with a learning curve and some may not be able to easily navigate this software. There isn't really great training, resources available for this tool however there are some free YouTube tutorial videos. This is great for cross company, department project management, sharing, managing of projects and timelines.
  • 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.

Microsoft Project Server is used as a forecasting and scheduling tool within my organization. The software is intermittently used across the whole organization in addition to other more complex scheduling tools. Microsoft Project Server works well for our simpler forecasting and scheduling needs. It is more user-friendly than other software, therefore allowing people with little or no experience to jump right in.
  • User-friendly in managing simple schedules
  • Allows for scheduling, resourcing and budgeting collaboration
  • Good tool for someone with no scheduling experience
  • Resource loading and leveling extremely complicated within the tool
  • Software makes incorrect assumptions and changes without user knowledge
  • Inconsistencies within the tool make it hard to predict & troubleshoot
Microsoft Project Server has proved to be well suited when managing simple projects without a ton of interdependencies and resourcing needs. It works well with managing forecast and baseline dates. The software is less appropriate when the scheduling needs are more complex. Although it does allow for collaboration amongst scheduling, budgeting, resourcing and risk analysis, it is probably not the best tool when those needs are complex.
  • Allowed us to introduce scheduling at a level that people could understand
  • Cost-efficient tool
  • Tons of resources for training

Project Server underpins our organization's delivery of software implementation projects. It is used to run individual projects, assigning resources and setting up delivery plans in Microsoft Project. The data that it realizes forms the basis of decision making, compliance, and governance by the PMO and upper management.
  • Ability to update project plans on the move in any location. Plans can even be updated offline and saved back to the server when the connection is reestablished.
  • Visibility of resource assignments across the company allows us to plan project start dates easily and effectively.
  • Being a Microsoft product, it is intuitive to administer and easy to configure to our individual requirements.
  • As with all software, Project Server is not without its bugs although generally, it is a very stable platform.
  • The GUI does need updating to a more modern look to bring it in line with the rest of the O365 suite.
Perhaps the greatest positive is the resource engagement and assignment, ensuring we are able to effectively plan the delivery of numerous projects, thus avoiding any duplicate bookings. On the flip side, once projects grow into very large plans with ultra-detailed assignments, it can become difficult to manage.
  • We've been able to reduce the number of staff in our PMO by utilising the Project Server data in Power BI, reducing the need for manual reporting.
  • Being able to forecast utilization in the product allows us to accurately estimate resource needs to ensure optimum staff levels.
