While most timesaving software boasts the ability to, well, save you time, most of us question the efficiency of these systems when the tenth data-entry page pops into view. Microsoft Project 98 delivers on its promises, however, guiding you through goal setting, calendar creation, and other key tasks to keep you on track.
As a Microsoft product, the interface is familiar and comfortable for most users. Typical Microsoft functionality also offers you myriad choices in how to display your information. The many reporting and monitoring options prove extremely useful in tracking a project's process. Other highlights include the ability to send e-mail to a group of workgroup recipients and pull the data for a TeamStatus reading; a simple way to assign costs to aspects of the project (including overtime rates); and the capability to manage multiple projects in one consolidated file.
For project managers who supervise team members across several departments--or even team members who are physically separated by floors, buildings, or different cities--the well-executed interconnectivity of Microsoft Project 98 makes it stand apart from similar products. From page formatting to high-level planning, this software proves itself a worthy assistant. --Jennifer Buckendorff
