Collaborative task management simplifies office work, but agile methodology features need enhancement
In order to improve Microsoft Project Server, collaborative features could be enhanced, as it is possible to improve it in a collaborative way similar to other office products, for example, using cloud drives like OneDrive. Another feature is Kanban or other features such as Scrum with agile methodologies. Microsoft Project Server is limited and falls short in using agile methodologies, which is the most important issue to improve. Microsoft Project Server is a good product; it is possible to improve regarding enabling agile features because the teams in my work are using Trello and Jira products due to the blackboards, Kanban, and Scrum. To do activities and stopping activities is more comfortable and easier to use, making it more practical in my teamwork. These features do not exist in Microsoft Project Server.

A project management solution that can be automated to suit your needs
I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten because it's easy. We had to really understand the solution because it's huge, and we had to know which sections to bite off first. I might even rate the initial setup a nine out of ten if you know what you've got. Once we had all our data and our migration plan, it was quite easy. The challenge lies more with the organization than the system itself. Sciforma is one of the easiest tools to get going with from a technical point of view, but knowledge is key. Deploying the solution takes from six months to a year, depending on the level of data wanted. While deploying the solution, we have to first compile the user's requirements. Then we have to drop a baseline specification in parallel with a concept rollout. Based on what's in the concept, we pick from what the client understands to be the relevant portions, the minimum requirements. Then I convert it into a project execution plan and then execute the plan. After that, we have initial data collection for configuration and then final live data. Then we have the sign-off processes of different departments. There's a lot of upfront work to get the data prepared for transmission, and that is a big challenge. We did almost a thousand projects per year, so there were quite a lot of decisions to speed up the deployment process. The biggest challenge was to get our internal data organized and map it.
