Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
MS Project is being used across the organization. Our department is using MSProject to manage large scale projects for Provider data projects - working to build new systems and programs. MS Project is being used by IT and business alike to manage projects that make for a better customer experience.
- My favorite thing about MS project is management of predecessors. When set to automatic and when managed well, MS Project handles downstream impacts to date changes and resource constraints. MS Project makes my life much easier
- I like how MS Project allows me to add vacation and holiday dates and helps me to build my schedules around these
- I like how MS Project allows for granularity in scheduling and tracking project costs.
- When I click on a task, I would like a text edit bar a the top of the screen to make changes. It is sometimes challenging to click on that task in just the right sequence/timing in order to make that change quickly.
- MS Project, when not associated with a server, does not have good reporting. It would be great if MS Project gave the ability to design your own reports. Layout, corporate logos, etc. A tool that allows you to make it look like you want it to look.
- More filtering options
- Keeps us on track for all major initiatives - shows where things are slipping and helps identify when a specific goal/task might need to be crashed as well as down stream impacts of doing/not doing
I have not used HP PPM in some time, but found it to be much more useful in managing process flows and resources
