Microsoft Project permits me to organize projects and it conjointly provides me with the tools I need. It’s pretty straightforward to use especially if you have experience in using different Microsoft products.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There aren’t several negative to be said regarding Microsoft Project. The software system does what I expect it to do, it’s reasonably easy software if anything maybe some additional customization choices is often good.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This tool has everything that’s required to manage a project. Right from the basic constraints of the Iron triangle, like Schedule, price & Scope, to further tools like Resource Management, Risk Management, Procurement, Stakeholders, and so forth Microsoft project could be a smart planning tool at the baseline timeframe of the schedule. It helps with planning at the start stages of a contract. Effective baseline tool. It is an amazing tool with a lot of helpful features.
