END USERS' CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS: USING MS PROJECT 2010
IN THIS CHAPTER
Here we examine, from an end user's perspective, those critical success factors (CSFs) that can have a significant impact on the appropriate and effective use of Microsoft Project. CSFs are used in project management (PM) to identify key areas that need to be considered to make a project succeed.
We explore key factors associated with the effective use of PM tools in small businesses and large enterprises, from the individual desktop client through to the departmental and enterprise server. Scalability, configurability, ease of use, integration, and collaboration are five key factors that will positively impact organizational effectiveness and end user satisfaction.
