Microsoft Project Reviews

You can tailor Microsoft Project to your needs. Unlike other 'free' software the relationships between concurrent tasks can be easily separated so that they don't cause issues with date clashes

It's a costly piece of software to license and these days operates on a subsription basis, so not easy to buy outright. I'd like to see the 'good old days' when you bought a CD and owned the sotware for life!

We used MS Project to manage ongoing workstreams. It linked in to Excel, Word and other Office products to produce valuable progress reports and allowed efficient manipulation of data

Centralized home screen

Multiple project views

Time tracking

Resource management

On premises deployment

User friendly interface

Difficult to manage small or simple projects as developed for large projects.

and limited customizable as we need to integrate with multiple tools.

Complex for a small project

To monitor the project in centralized system where to collect the information and status of the project that is end to end. better resource allocation, streamlined collaboration, data driven, product delivery, cost optimization

Built for collaboration.

It allows coauthoring.

All project teams can work together.

Easy to track the project progress and the dependancy.

Quite expensive, visualization is not great, not user friendly, it's difficult for beginners.

Minimum risk, Optimal resource utilization across the company, delivering project intime.

Increasing productivity.

I mostly liked the tracking ability for some specific projets in my role as an assistant design engineer. It's functionality is quite simple and easy to understand.

The learning process of this tool is very big and it is also somewhat expensive.

It is used for design project of dimapur kohima bridge designed project and solving the key structure completetion time .

Very systematic and simple that anybody who is a beginner can understand the concept and corelate the same with their work. This is highly recommended to all those who seek a better chance in the industry.

Their is not much flaw in the process. Its better to attend

It is helping me in solving and understanding day to day issues at my site and outgrow myself in the industry.

The huge break down follow up on each task to keep any schedule activities under control, also it haves a lot of third party applications to be integrated with, much helpful

There is some software issues and errors, despite is a very complete software no warnings are shown during this errors, making difficult to identify the mistakes.

Making projects follow up more easy and understandable for any one, dashboards and charts easy to understand the complete project status, in timing, resources and all the important information you need

There is smooth integration between Procore and Microsoft Project which helps in communication.

Microsoft Project is still slightly outdated.

Construction Schedule

Microsoft has evolved this product over a number of years, and it has nicely matured over time. There are several great features within the product, and the interoperability and sharing between projects is very helpful in day-to-day work for our project managers. Budget tracking is nicely done.

While the project capabilities in the product have evolved to a mature state, the portfolio capabilities are still evolving. Microsoft needs to emphasize allowing customers to manage project portfolios in a data-driven, analytical manner: project cost, complexity, and risk for a few examples. Most of the portfolio products out there are comparable so it is not like Microsoft is behind, but that is the most difficult aspect of our deployment.

We are solving mulitple problems: managing a large portfolio of programs and projects at the enterprise level, assessing resource collisions and constraints and ensuring projects remain on budget and on time..

Its a tool that helps you to manage multiple projects easily with accuracy and alerting you with each deadline well in advance.

I havent encountered anything that I dont like

This tool ensures the success of project planning and execution. Managers can manage resources, evaluate budgets, create schedules, measure performance, analyze opportunities and assess risks.

Project Planning

Tracking project evolution when it comes to completion, time and costs

Scheduling and Time Management

Resource allocation

It is the best program for project management, it is the most used

It is installed on your cpu so you can only use it on another computer that has the program installed

I have managed most of my projects through this program
