The worst part is handling too many items, like 1,000 items, which Microsoft Project struggles with, especially when printing. Printing on A3 size is quite burdensome, so I prefer viewing it on a tablet or computer. On a tablet or phone, I can see the full project elements depending on the screen size.

"We'd like to have more resource allocation and monitoring features."
"It is positioned at the more high end. Sometimes it's more complicated than we need."
"Project availability and speed could always be improved."
"If Project had a better mechanism to allow those who are not the project manager to see their own work tasks, that would be of help or of value to us."

"It would be better if there were more access to Agile implementations."
