Project management

Hi Bob

Thanks for your question. I think many people start off using MS Excel because it's a familar package and is easy to configure. After a while though when the complexity of the plan starts to emerge Excel can be quite tricky to use for maintaining project schedules.

On the other hand MS Project can feel like it has a steep learning curve but over time is better suited to handing the running of a project. So whilst it might be a bit less straightforward to use initially I think MS Project is a good application to use over the longer term.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further quesitons.

Kind regards,
Andrew
