Why is Microsoft Project important?
Project managers are like the conductor of an orchestra. They are those who adjust the speed (Tempo) of each resource. They have to balance cost, scope, time, risk and of course the quality of the project. To achieve this, project managers require a versatile tool. Microsoft delivered this tool in the form of Microsoft Project.
Actually, the first commercial version of Project that was released in DOS in 1984 wasn’t developed by Microsoft. In 1985 Microsoft bought all the rights to the software and has been improving Microsoft Project ever since.
It is now an irreplaceable tool for every project manager to assist the effective management of the project endeavors.
