Microsoft Project Project Management Software

Details

Microsoft Projects for Office 365 is what you would expect from Microsoft. It provides a solid tool with all the required functionality, great tools to connect directly to your other Microsoft applications, the ability to copy and paste without losing any functionality and connectivity to the Office store. Microsoft knows how to make its applications work with each other and it shows in Projects too. Being based in the Microsoft cloud, Projects can be accessed from anywhere where you can get a connection to the Internet. A solution that can be installed on your own servers is also available.

The Microsoft Project solution for Office 365 stays constantly updated via the cloud so that you get the latest version for use. There are options for customization as well that allow cloud based software to be altered to adapt to your preferred workflows.

Project is flexible and intuitive, since the look and feel of common Microsoft products is maintained, the learning curve is not too steep. Using the Start screen, most users can be walking through the basic steps to create a project, organize tasks and create a time line with ease. A large number of project templates are available to be used as they are or customized if required. Using these is even better because they cater to the small but important aspects of project management that could be left out – especially by those with lesser experience in Project Management.

The Gantt Chart is well defined and laid out, a task path is clearly visible to show users components of their projects that are most critical. This allows managers to focus on things that are really important to the success of the project.  The reporting tools are rich and elaborate. Most of these can be used straight out of the box without any additional work. Tools are easy to use and their output can be understood with ease, helping project managers take decisions faster and with greater success.

Projects let you look into the future and anticipate change. You can even make certain tasks inactive and see their impact on the overall health of the project.
