Project Server: Why do I care if I can use Excel?

Have you ever used a knife to stir or a shoe to pound a nail? We use these things because they’re convenient. But when we see a chef cooking or carpenter building, they always use the proper tool.

We fall into the same trap managing projects with Microsoft Excel. Why? Because it works for what we need at the time, and, as clients like to tell me, “it’s better than doing it on paper.” But for the best results, we need a tool set that supports collaboration and provides flexible work management solutions.

View C/D/H's “Project Server: Why do I care if I can use Excel?” slide deck (PDF, 1 MB) and find out why Microsoft Project and Project Server is the right tool combination for managing your projects – no matter how big – or how small.
