Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management Reviews

The connections to the rest of the MS suite, make project and outstanding option. It pins tasks to your schedule, learn from emails, and overall the best way to connect calendar to tasks

There is a steep learning curve, for example changes in critical path would create color coding changes that if you don’t understand why is difficult to follow. Dashboards are also not intuitive

Connecting my calendar to todos, task progress and color coding importance, makes it great to keep track of milestones during my regular day, basically without going elsewhere but outlook or teams

The Microsoft Project and portfolio management software has a very clean and structured user interface, which makes planning timelines easy, we can also manage dependencies and also track the progress. The integration with MS 365 tools like teams, excel, power bi and sharepoint works very smoothly and also reduce duplicate work. I would say that the performance of it is very reliable even if the project is large or portfolio has multiple projects and programs inside it. The pricing is good as it provides whole solution in package replacing different reporting tools in just one solution.

The support experience and onboarding can feel slow and complex, especially for new users without proper project management tool exposure. Some features has to be learned and guidance is necessary and documentation is also required. The platform is powerful, but the AI capabilities are limited and very basic as compared to other tools available.

It helps me solving multiple challenges in planning, tracking and prioritizing multiple projects in a structured way. It bene fits me by giving clear visibility into timelines, dependencies as well as resource allocation to the task and their availability and helps me to reduce delay and last minute rush.

I like the scheduling power of Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management, including its ability to automate project logic and calculate duration, start, and finish dates. The dependencies feature is helpful because it clearly identifies what tasks must happen before others. I also appreciate the baseline feature as it helps us track variance efficiently. The initial setup was simple for us.

I think Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management lacks a little in terms of UI. It could be made better.

It helps us manage our IT projects efficiently and complete tasks on time.

I LIKE THE VERSATILITY TO CREATE MULTIFACETED DOCUMENTS FOR VARIOUS USES AND PURPOSES.

SOMETIMES MANY DIFFERENT STEPS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE DOCUMENTATION..

MICROSOFT PROJECT & PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT IS USER-FRIENDLY. iT SIMPLIFIES THE PROCESSES

initiative collected and from ideas to projects, all cpvered

.One can easily learn and easy to use MS projects

Less useful for portfolio management,better use for project management like scheduling and tracking

It's manually we need to enter data,some automatic data or projects to be included

This tool is best to maintain reports and helps to maintain graphical representation of reports.

Multiple filters and styles helps a-lot to represent in a awesome way.

Noting, So easy to handle and manage without any-kind of help.

Best for project management.

You can tailor Microsoft Project to your needs. Unlike other 'free' software the relationships between concurrent tasks can be easily separated so that they don't cause issues with date clashes

It's a costly piece of software to license and these days operates on a subsription basis, so not easy to buy outright. I'd like to see the 'good old days' when you bought a CD and owned the sotware for life!

We used MS Project to manage ongoing workstreams.

It is easy to set up a Project Plan using templates provided in MS Project. Most project managers across industries understand reports/project plans generated from MS Project, whether or not they have used the software before.

It was expensive especially at the very beginning of its adoption by Microsoft - so much so that it was not part of standard bundles we could get at work. But I think the pricing is much better now and the general adoption of MS Project has improved since the late 00s.

It solved creating the project schedule, tracking progress and identifying areas that needed attention.

Their neat feature of capacity planning, it simplifies our work in allocating resources efficiently. Also, the scheduling and planning tools are outstanding - visual timeline (Gantt charts), dependency tracking, which help us to monitor project's progression. Lastly, the software's ability to easily integrate with other Microsoft products, like Excel and Power Bi, enhances our data analysis and reporting capabilities.

It is somewhat inflexible when it comes to accommodating ad hoc, non-linear project trajectories, which we encounter quite frequently in the financial industry.

Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management is solving our long-standing issues in project managment, especially in resource allocation and project planning. It's advanced analytics capabilities have also made our data analysis more efficient.
