It possesses the ability to break down the complex project into a manageable, detailed tasks and assign them quickly and keeps my coding projects with transition to coding, InProgress, Code Review, Waiting for Customer reply status helps a lot in transitions from the global view itself. The Gantt charts provide a visual roadmap, aiding in project visualization. The integration with Microsoft's products/ecosystem, especially Teams, enhances collaboration seamlessly.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The part that often grinds my gears in Microsoft Project is its task dependency handling. For instance, when working on software development projects, managing code dependencies and build sequences can be a bit clunky. Picture this: you've got multiple code modules, and ensuring they compile in the right order feels like solving a puzzle without all the pieces. It could use a smoother ride in that department.

Think of Gantt charts as your strategic map, but be mindful not to overcomplicate smaller tasks. It's a powerhouse for project management in a professional setting, especially if your team is ready to leverage its feature-rich capabilities.
