Is MS Project a good match?
Good enough:• When careful resource planning is needed• When a scope of the Project is fixed beforehand• When there is a dedicated professional PM at hand
Too big: • When a project changes on-the-go (incl. subtasks, content, teammates, etc.)• When resource planning is a secondary priority• When team needs a simple frontend embracing other Actions it deals with
