Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project
MS Project is used by most of our project managers, in order to organize and keep track of our business [and] strategic projects, regardless of which department they belong to.
After an experience with MS Project server that wasn't very successful, "traditional" MS Project helped PMs to manage plannings and shared resources.
After an experience with MS Project server that wasn't very successful, "traditional" MS Project helped PMs to manage plannings and shared resources.
- Gantt chart and tasks planning
- Tasks dependencies and delay impacts
- Shared resources management
- Project timeline visualisation
- Hidden costs can rise very quickly (licencing, training...)
- Not available inline and not included in Office 365
- Old fashioned and not intuitive to use
- Helps PMs to manage resources shared across many projects
- Gantt diagram and timeline features helps cross departments forecasts
- Time and budget consuming learning curve
As our IT is based on Microsft Office 365, we have privileged access to MS Project licences, resources, training and support, so we didn't use any other PM software.
