Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
We use Microsoft Project to estimate construction project critical path schedules and utilize this schedule through to completion.
- Fairly simple in function and does not overwhelm you with too many details--as simple or as detailed as you wish to use it
- It might be the most common scheduling tool in construction and, therefore, does not require much of a learning curve for employees to be trained
- The appearance of the exported deliverables can be finely tuned to your needs or your clients' needs
- The user interface is a bit outdated but still perfectly functional
- Printing schedules--can be tricky to get the view that you want and often requires a creative workaround to get the look you want
- Editing your schedule from the gantt chart activities is not as easy, as Microsoft Project is more geared toward the edits from the table view, which can be challenging for visual learners
- Reduces scheduling risks
- Maintains sequence of activities
Microsoft Project is a reasonable price and provides all of the functions we need, and even more. The fancier tools will be more expensive but not necessarily be more effective, so sticking with the industry standard seems to be the reasonable choice.
