Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project

We use it to track jobs for all 12 members of our engineering team. As we have a number of tasks and many members we are able to easliy see everything in our weekly meetings and assign new tasks based on workload. It is quite valuable to everyone including our manager for scheduling especially during our busy season.

Pros

  • easily assign resources everyone can see
  • drag and drop in timeline view saves time
  • puts everyones workload in a calendar view

Cons

  • it is integrated to other microsoft products
  • it is not a fully standalone solution
  • took work to integrate web version with desktop version
  • we are able to see pitfalls quicker leading to less wasted time
  • we can forcast better in the future for booking new jobs
  • it is good at keeping track of time spent on tasks
It is great for simple project management and is critical for out success. It is pretty user friendly and easy to manipulate for all users. The drag and drop feature makes it easy to move things around. It lacks some features espically with document management, time tracking and generating reports.
Our company already has our client and tracking database in microsoft 365 so it was the logical step to stay with microsoft although it is a bit lacking compared to other offerings. If our team was on the go one of these other products might work better. We needed something quick and dirty and we can import from 365 directly making it the choice for us.

Yes

Did Microsoft Project live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft Project go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Microsoft Project again?

Yes

This works well since we have other tools in microsoft 365 enfiroment. This is also a good tool for simple project management where you need a timeline and need to keep track of tasks. We have a large team to manage and it works well so everyone can see the tasks for the whole team.
