Microsoft Project is not Project Management

Microsoft Project-Terrible for Project Planning

The tools is adequate for project tracking, but when it comes to planning, get your head out of the tool. Good project management should focus on the activities that communicate and lead the understanding of the project for the entire team. Getting caught up in the tasks, dependencies, links etc. within project are a distraction at the wrong time.

All the tools and techniques within for project management profession are designed to help facilitate and communicate the understanding of the project to all stakeholders. Diving into a tool really takes your focus away from what is important.
