Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project is used in some departments but not across the board. In our department, we have two licenses.
  • Helps keep transparency in a project.
  • Keeps tasks visible to the entire team.
  • Shows time needed to complete and allows you to work backwards from deadlines.
  • Microsoft project is not intuitive to the user.
  • It can be challenging to use the software effectively because it does not feel user friendly.
  • When you move one task, you need to make sure to reset all the precedents.
  • The positive impact has been that it gave us a tool which helps with project management if you have nothing else in place.
  • It has not had a negative impact, it's just not the right tool for our team since not everyone has access.
  • If we had more access or an enterprise license, I think we might have a better experience with it.
Microsoft Project is well suited for projects where one or two people are working on a project. Because it is not web-based (at least the version we have) it limits the number of people who can work on the same project.
