Resource management: Track your working resources (hours, days, weeks, etc.), material resources (building materials, computers, etc.), and cost resources (any pre-planned expense resources, such as plane tickets) using custom-built charts.

This is a useful feature if project timelines and task lists are too long and complex to track.

Shared team calendar: Microsoft Project gives users the ability to create custom calendars for one or many tasks that all project members can see and use.

Users list out tasks, set their duration, and add any additional details for other users and project managers to track.

Task prioritization and scheduler: Microsoft Project uses task lists, kanban boards, project roadmaps, and Gantt charts as its primary task prioritization and task scheduler features.

This software offers up a wide range of features, including documentation, collaboration and even budgeting. After using this tool for a while, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is best suited to an enterprise setting with large project teams and even larger budgets.

I never would’ve found some of the less commonly-used functions if I hadn’t watched the demonstrations. This PM tool is definitely not for the average project manager due to its confusing user-interface and expensive pricing structure. Microsoft Project is best for existing Office suite users that require additional project management functions in their day-to-day work.
