Likelihood to Recommend

Since processes such as pre-construction design and project development are somewhat more human-related, the programs made in Microsoft Project may be delayed, but very accurate results can be obtained when machine equipment data and resource assignments are made for construction. I have witnessed many times that it correctly calculates the deviation of the result when the delays are processed and the program is updated.
