Microsoft Project

Today I spent about half of the day learning Microsoft Project

Most of the Microsoft users should have this software in their computer

It came together with other Microsoft Office package such as Word and Excel which I think are the most common among users

M. Project is a useful tool if you would like to plan or manage your schedule for a project, not a trivial one but a large scale project in which it will take few months time

Why shouldn't I plan my schedule using M. Project for a mini project? Imagine you are going to make a cup of coffee, you probably wouldn't want to spend hours (or minutes) to create a comprehensive schedule including all the tasks and resources right?

What you want is just make the coffee in 15 minutes and enjoy it with your love one

However if the project is a huge one and involving many resources (human included), you should try this tool, or there are still many project management software out there but this is not the aim of this post so we will just omit it

There are some useful tutorials on the internet and you can learn to use it within hours if you have the patience.

Enjoy mate!!
