But having said this don’t let the problems put you off, even with the issues it is the best way to manage projects and if you have multiple projects and outsourced staff or home workers there is always MS Project Server, but this is a hole lot of more problems.

Primavera is for large and integrated projects – has nice capabilities/functionality for combining multiple projects and to provide Office and Departmental level summary reports. Of course you may need to plan for dedicated Project Planner type of person for caring and feeding of Primavera!

Or does the type of project you’re working on influence what software you use?
