Microsoft Project is
very complicated, especially if you never used it before. It's not like any
other Office program. It's a project management software tool used mainly by
project managers. If you don't know anything about it or project management,
you will most likely be lost while in it. However, after playing around
with it you find that you can. This software is mostly used in in keeping a
list of all resources involved in a project. You can also Keep track of costs
involved, from simple keyed in costs to calculations based on the amount of
time people spend working on tasks or the amount of materials required. It also allows
you to assign resources to tasks and from there see how long people spend
working on different tasks, see To-Do lists for individual people in a project,
see where people are being over allocated to certain tasks and also see where
certain people are being under-utilized. Microsoft Project in essence
helps organize projects that you may be working. Knowing this program can help
be that much valuable to a company if you know how to use it.
