MS Project 2010 - Review by a Project Manager

 MS Project 2010 - Review by a Project Manager

In this article I will cover a few of the major changes of MS Project 2010, for a more in-depth view, and a chance to download the beta version of MS Project 2010 visit the Microsoft site.
Let me start by saying that I have been using MS Project for over 10 years now. It's always been a love hate relationship. Often for smaller projects I would turn to using Excel, its flexibility gave me be ability to quickly organize and change project tasks.
So when I had a chance to talk to the Microsoft Project marketing team, and they remarked that the improvements made were as a result of integrating Excel like flexibility, they had my full attention. In fact did you know that the number one competitor to Project is Excel. The guys at Microsoft finally figured out that they were their own competition, and after more than a decade decided to do something about it.
