Benefits

Arguably one of the best among the currently available project management tools, Microsoft Project is the tool for any company that is tired of trying to boost productivity with whiteboard scribblings, post-it notes, as well as scraps of paper. The tool deals with complexity in a very simple manner. While the tool has an impressively huge range of capabilities, it is relatively easy for any user to get it to do exactly what he or she needs.

Full visibility

The software lends to you full visibility even if you are handling multiple projects. It features familiar scheduling tools like Gantt charts and prepopulated pulldown menus to speed up and simplify the project planning stage. Likewise, its multiple timelines allow you to get the big picture across projects and tasks and their progress towards milestones. Each timeline can be assigned to specific data and shared with project stakeholders. And with access from various desktop and mobile devices, you can quickly view project data anywhere you are connected to the system.

Great integration

It connects to a wide range of Microsoft software products. It leverages Skype to enhance project communication, and works with Office.com and Office 365 to work with a slew of popular Microsoft apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Likewise, Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management works with Power BI Pro to lend to your project high-level business intelligence analytics.

Ready to use

You get to use built-in templates that are also customizable to your specs, a great way to get the project up and running fast. Moreover, the templates are the product of best practices, so there is no need to reinvent the wheel. You also get out-of-the-box reports that you can share with your teams. Reports like burndown charts, financials and Gantt charts are available and can be viewed across devices.

Experienced-based UI and feature set

Microsoft Project is designed by people who have managed real-life projects and know that some things and processes are always changing. Thus with this tool, adding new tasks or revising the organization of a project midway through will be an easy thing to do.

Adaptive to different scenarios

It is extremely intuitive and offers great balance of usability and complexity. Project is used in various industries including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, construction, retail, financial services, government, and health care.
