Microsoft Project enables you to keep track of resources (e.g., time, labor, etc).

What do you like best? In one application, Microsoft Project allows you to keep track of resources (e.g., time, labor, etc.) as you complete your project.

MS Project can be improved upon greatly!

What do you like best? The automated formulas/columns which reflect % Complete, Work Breakdown Structure numbering/ordering, and Task dependencies/predecessors. These automated features speed up the development of a project schedule within Microsoft Project. I work in commercial, so the ability to export to PDF or Excel formats is a must, as a lot of my clients do not have the ability to view .MPP file formats. What do you dislike? The inability to save column widths, cell ...
