My thoughts on Microsoft project and portfolio management

Ol' Faithful

What do you like best? MS Project is super reliable for core PM functions. No matter what other tooling I use - JIRA, Workfront, Trello, etc. - I always come back to Project on large/complicated projects. The control over project scheduling, resource planing, GANTT view, etc. are second to none. What do you dislike? No beginners, Project can be intimidating. It looks kind of like Excel, but functions very differently. The depth of feature set takes some getting used to. I recommend ...
