Go beyond Excel for project management
You can admit it — you've been using a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet to manage your projects, and you don't really see a good reason to change. You're not alone.
It's tempting to start a project plan in Excel because it helps you quickly list all your projects, arrange them how you want them, and even create something that resembles a Gantt chart view. But a spreadsheet falls short when it comes to calculating changes to your project.
When you find yourself juggling multiple projects, interrupted schedules, and shared resources, maintaining a schedule in a spreadsheet becomes an overwhelming task. With its dynamic scheduling engine, resource management tools, and support for better communication, Microsoft Office Project 2007 can help you stay on track.
What do you want to do?
Take advantage of enterprise-wide resource management
When you use spreadsheets to track projects, what happens when a single resource is assigned to multiple projects? You must manage resources outside of your project plan, either manually or with a third-party program. Resources often end up unintentionally overallocated, and you can spend lots of time trying to reschedule the work.
With Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007, all projects in your organization can draw from a central, enterprise-wide resource pool. This enables project managers to quickly see the availability of a resource before assigning that resource to a task.

Let Project calculate the effect of date changes
Let's say you've been tracking a project in a spreadsheet. This project has a task that can't start until a different project produces a specific deliverable. That deliverable is scheduled to be done on June 18th. It's now June 25th, and you're still waiting for it. How long will it take you to update your spreadsheet with a new date for the task that depends on that deliverable? Maybe not long if the task is near the end of the project, but what if it's near the beginning? And what if your project has well over 50 tasks? Over 100 tasks?
Project 2007 can help you quickly adjust your project schedule and resource assignments with its dynamic scheduling engine. It handles a date change and its effects seamlessly, accounting for all dependencies, deliverables, and resource assignments. Not only does it automatically recalculate the schedule, but Project 2007 also highlights the dates it changed, so that you can quickly see the effect of each schedule shift.

Use flexible reporting methods
You have an impromptu meeting with your manager in ten minutes to go over your project's status. You want to bring a report of your project's progress, but on such short notice, the best that you can do is print your spreadsheet and hope that all the data is accurate. You'd like to provide your manager with a more robust report on your project, but it's just not possible on such short notice when you're using a spreadsheet.
With Project 2007, you can quickly generate a visual report using a template that exports the data to a PivotTable in Excel or a PivotDiagram in Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007. You can choose which fields you want to highlight in the report, including any custom fields you have set up for your project, and present a clean, concise report for your meeting with management.

Integrate with Excel
By exporting your project data to Excel, you can continue to use its powerful spreadsheet functionality while taking advantage of Project 2007 to track your project's schedule and resources. You can also import or embed Excel data into your project plan.
