MS Project


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.
