I would tell potential users that Microsoft Project is acceptable if they run a Waterfall project. If they are trying to do something more Agile, they will probably want some other capabilities that the other tools provide, like Kanban tools. It does what it does, but when you compare it to the tools with Agile capability, they work based on tasks and resource availability. They usually have backlogs of different activities, and the team will decide which ones they want to work on next. Every two weeks, they have a periodic cycle, and they look at the backlog list and pick from there which ones they want to build next. This may not be how they were first defined in a typical Microsoft Project Gantt chart. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Project an eight.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Sep 29, 2024

Valuable Features

"The resource allocation features, which help allocate resources to tasks, are quite valuable."
"The tool helps us to check milestones. After doing tasks, our team updates them. Regarding functionalities in Microsoft Project, the number one feature is reminders. With so many projects, sometimes you forget; some projects might slip up or disappear. This feature is very useful."
"We value all the features. Previously, we used Jenkins for similar purposes, but Microsoft Projects works fine. We're looking to improve integration with different clusters on production and automate various aspects of software development. This includes integration for alerting, monitoring, and pricing purposes, among other things."

Room for Improvement

"The online version of Microsoft Project lacks some functionality compared to the on-premises version."
"I would like to see a direct integration of Microsoft Project with AutoCAD. It will make client presentations easy."
"The tool's deployment is complex. Integration and automation also need to be improved."

Pricing

"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The product is not expensive. My company has opted for an annual subscription."
"I rate Microsoft Project's pricing a five out of ten."
