Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project (MS Project) is used throughout Carestream. I specifically use it within the information technology department. MS Project is used to help us manage our IT projects from a work breakdown structure level.
- MS Project handles dependencies very well. You can link tasks to show relationships and manage delivery constraints.
- Assigning resources to tasks is a great feature in MS Project. This will show the work to be accomplished and who is responsible.
- MS Project does not have examples or templates for different methodologies and frameworks like waterfall or agile.
- It would be nice if MS Project could provide some templates or examples of simple and complex projects
- Provide more tutorials and videos for how to start and set up a project.
- Positive impact of Microsoft Project in our organization is the consistency of practices and process for managing our projects.
- The resource loading capability in Microsoft Project provides better accuracy and predictability with project delivery and labor costs.
Microsoft Project is better suited to layout and manage project schedules. In regard to building project schedules with dependencies and resource loading, There is more flexibility and ease of use in Microsoft Project over Planview Enterprise.
