A successful project is one that is completed on time, within budget, and meets established quality benchmarks. This calls for effective and streamlined management of tasks and events right from inception through completion. MS Project facilitates efficient assembly and tracking of projects, and enables project managers to plan schedules keeping in mind the sequence, duration and relationships of tasks involved. It offers robust project management tools with the perfect blend of usability and flexibility, and is therefore one of the most widely used project management software used worldwide.
The application creates critical path schedules, and critical chain and event chain methodology third-party add-ons also are available. Schedules can be resource levelled, and chains are visualized in a Gantt chart.
