Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003 is used by project managers who need a desktop tool to manage their projects independently but who do not require strong coordination with other project managers or the ability to manage resources from a central repository. Project Standard 2003 is designed to improve your ability to organize work and communicate effectively and succinctly through familiar, easy-to-use tools.
Better organize and manage work and people to ensure that projects are delivered on time and within budget.
- Organize your work more effectively with powerful scheduling capabilities
- Track and evaluate the impact of schedule and resource changes to your overall project plans
- Customize plans to capture information specific to your projects
- Display the project information you want to review
- Focus on information that needs your attention with filters and groups
- Increase your impact at work and create better presentations by easily transferring information from Project Standard 2003 into other Office programs such as Microsoft Office Word 2003, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, and Microsoft Office Visio 2003.
- Communicate more clearly using new printing enhancements to print one-page printouts of project schedules.
- Share project information with team members by saving Project (MPP) files to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site. Windows SharePoint Services is a component of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 that enables users to create Web sites for information sharing and document collaboration.
- Get started quickly with tools that assist you with project management methodology, so you can set up schedules and manage resources more effectively
- Access online help and training for relevant, up-to-date support and assistance
- Download a template from Templates on Microsoft Office Online, rather than starting a project from scratch. Learn more about Office Online
- Use familiar tools to do work that is more sophisticated and has more of an impact without the need for extensive training
- Save time by moving project information easily between Project 2003 and other Microsoft Office programs, such as Microsoft Office Excel 2003
- Navigate and learn Project Standard 2003 quickly with an updated interface that is consistent with Office 2003 programs

Project sets the standard in the desktop/personal space in project management software. However, in an enterprise arena we came up short in collaboration. There are other applications available which focus more on project collaboration, centrallized reporting, and sharing resources across projects. We got @task (<A href="http://www.attask.com">http://www.attask.com</A>) which does all of the scheduling Project does and allow users to more easily collaborate. There are a variety of others too.

One could say that this is the standard by which all other project management software is measured ... but there are no others that compare. For better or for worse, Microsoft dominates this software segment like no other.
However, instead of resting on its market share, MS keeps improving its product. In more than 5 years as a professional project manager at a Fortune 500 company, I have never seen another software product in daily use other than Project ... although I'm sure they are out there somewhere.
If you require others to share your files and for your project plans to be backwardly compatible years into the future, you really shouldn't consider anything else. But don't be dismayed, this is well-designed software that is surprisingly easy to learn, use and an immediate, out-of-the-box time-saver.
The bottom line is still incredible value, even more so if you qualify for the low-price Academic Version, as I did while taking a continuing ed project management course.

I highly recommend this software. Makes tracking your project so easy. You can quickly make changes if your project schedule changes - easy to learn and use.

Product came when promised - a little longer than I wanted, but as promised. They also upgraded the software so this was a plus.

A great way to manage projects and share with others in your group.
Not intuitive to learn, though.
