Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project is currently being used to plan, manage, and coordinate the different steps/teams involved in the creation of web applications within our development group. It allows upper management to have a quick and easy way to view what is currently occurring within the development process. It also allows us to provide easy and quick information to stakeholders regarding the status of their project.
  • Task Management
  • Project Reporting
  • Project Workflows
  • As usual with Microsoft products, it can be difficult sometimes to find exactly what it is that you are looking for.
  • Would be nice if there was more integration with third-party products.
  • Improved Productivity
  • Improved Task Management
  • Easier to project cost of a project
We did not evaluate any other tools. We are a Microsoft shop and use their products almost exclusively. I believe that there are a number of alternatives out there but they do not offer the range of features in one product that Microsoft Project does. It is worth the investment.
Microsoft Project is an essential tool for the easy management of any and all projects. It allows all parties involved to have easy access to the status of a project, and a view of the project as a whole. It is probably not required for quick development items such as support issues or tasks that take less than a week.
