Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
Along with Microsoft Excel, Project is being used for project management across the entire organization to track projects, work streams within projects, start and end dates, assigned tasks to users, milestones, progress and changes to scope. It has been used for a number of years and some of us had practice with it from prior consulting days.
- Visually shows gantt charts of progress in project workstreams
- Shows the elapsed time for tasks to be completed
- Visually identifies the team members assigned to their work streams and if they are behind or on target
- Seems overly complicated for users sometimes in using Project and its functionalities
- Hard to share files for those folks who do not have MS Project, and then have to print out for them
- Can be confusing since it looks and feels like MS Excel
- Since it is reasonable priced and flexible and fits into our Microsoft products, it meets our objectives
- It has prevented expensive scope creep, this has saved us money and had solid ROI
- Project does require light training cost to use it effectively
Microsoft Excel could be almost as powerful tool, but Project is the most state of the art software for its purposes. I find that tracking project management status in Project is more formal and secure than Google Drives, where I worry about security of confidential information and projects that are in flight.
