Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project is a tool primarily used by product management and secondary users include marketing and pro services teams. The tool is intended to enhance project time and collaboration between cross-functional teams. The Gantt chart is used heavily to determine a projects’ critical path and key milestones associated with that path in order to keep a project on time and in the case of pro services especially, on schedule for cost forecasts.
- Microsoft Product integrations, including sharing and reminder notifications.
- Interactive Gantt chart.
- More efficient, reliable project and DevOps integration.
- Training resources for new users.
- This was implemented during a new fiscal year and the product team reported a project accuracy metric of +20% YOY.
- Pro Services saw increased turnaround in all project post-implementation with an average 7% cost reduction excluding strong positive outliers.
Microsoft Project had the strongest integrations and Gantt chart qualities. As a team that uses Outlook, Skype, DevOps and the Office Suite, it became clear that Project suited our needs best. Additionally, testing found that the user interface and security features pleased users, stakeholders, and IT team requirements.
