Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
We are not actively utilizing MS Project. We found the application to be too cumbersome for associates not familiar with Project Management methodologies or technics, nor familiar with technology. All in all, we felt MS Project did not provide an easy or positive user experience, which would not have allowed for high user adoption.
- Ability to track resource capacity.
- Ability to plot tasks & timelines.
- Steep learning curve.
- Not user friendly due to learning curve.
We compared MS Project to QuickBase and Smartsheet. We found that Smartsheet was a simple to use project management tool, which would fit our needs by allowing our end users the ability to create and track their own initiatives, with a minimal learning curve. Smartsheet also provided the level of reporting and sharing options needed.
