Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project is the tool of choice in our organization to create and follow up on construction project schedules. We use it as a planning and decision-making tool.
- Basic and/or detailed sequencing of activities.
- Helps determine credible timelines for projects.
- The resources assignment tool could be made easier. With so many resources to be managed, assigning resources in construction schedules turns them into huge files that are difficult to manage if your computer is modest in processing capacity.
- It has helped us maintain a competitive offer in the project management field, enabling us to ensure our clients that their projects are kept within the schedule or those foreseen obstacles are handled well in advance.
We selected Microsoft Project because of its better use of as a stand-alone tool, plus being a more widely used tool in our business environment. Most of our clients and contractors are familiarized with Microsoft Project so it's easier to share information with them. Plus is a much easier tool for a colleague to teach and with literally a couple of hours of training you can get the least experienced person to start recording information.
