Description

Microsoft Project is a rich-client project management application developed by Microsoft that is designed to assist project managers in developing plans, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing budgets, and analyzing workloads. The tool is geared toward project planning and offers a correspondingly wide range of functions. Ironically, the wide range of functions is the main complaint about Microsoft Project. The steep learning curve does not make this tool suitable for the daily work of beginners in particular, and will often not operate as expected. Appropriate education and training effort must be reckoned with for each new user. Since a new version will soon be released, this older version should shortly be available on more favorable pricing terms.

Review Criterias

Pros	The market leader. Very large feature set, which can be adapted to individual needs. Very good planning, reporting and controlling features. Many secondary literature and trainings available.
Cons	Many features which are not needed by most users,very complex and expensive.
Conclusion	Conclusion Microsoft Project is a powerful tool with many functions. This might be the deciding factor to buy for some users. However, for many others users, this should be the reason not to buy this tool. There are some interesting alternatives among the freeware tools.
