Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
People have the option to use Microsoft Project but it isn't required. For those who manage people and multiple simultaneous projects, it is super helpful to have as an option. We have multiple projects going on all through out the year that require the attention of several different people, so Microsoft Project is good for that.
- Automated scheduling is super helpful, especially when you have hard deadlines.
- It's extremely visually intuitive and you don't have to search around until you stumble into something.
- It's an easy way to share information among a team that isn't necessarily all in the same place. Also nicer than Google Drive (which a lot of people use).
- If work didn't pay for it, I don't think I would pay for it. There are free options I could use (for what we're doing, but for some people they might need it).
- It saves time because you're able to actually do your job and not micromanage people/keep track of everyone's deadlines.
- Linking dependent tasks is also great, especially for interns. They learn when/how someone is depending on their work and can visually see it.
