Introduction

The skills to manage projects top the list of the soft skills most demanded by companies
around the world. To achieve this goal, workers and companies from all areas can rely on
the use of programs such as Microsoft Project. This can be useful both at work and in
studies.
In the current era, driven by globalization and the inevitable expansion of markets caused
by the growth of the internet and new technologies, companies are facing more and more
competitors. Therefore, they must manage their resources effectively to obtain greater
profitability.
It is this reality that determines that for students and professionals it is essential to learn
how to manage projects, in order to become attractive candidates for companies. This
objective can be achieved through Microsoft Project.
In this project we calculate with the help of the program ms project the total duration of the
project, we estimate the critical route and the final date of the project. We also include the
list of project activities for the construction of a bridge with its predecessors.
Microsoft Project is a program or software for project management. This application allows
you to organize information about the allocation of time to tasks, associated costs and
resources, both work and materials, of the project so that deadlines can be respected
without exceeding the budget and thus achieve the objectives set.
Microsoft Project is an efficient and flexible project management tool that you can use to
control simple or complex projects. It will help you to schedule and keep track of all
activities to monitor your progress.
I believe that a fundamental instrument to carry out a successful project is the tool that
Microsoft Project offers, having this program is a great benefit for any company, since it
allows a project with a lot of organization to be carried out, giving the Facility that the
members of said project can access to update their actions, managements, the percentage of
the realizations of the activities, etc. This program calculates the network of the project,
offering speed and flexibility to carry out sensitivity analysis during planning in the event
of possible changes.
I will use this tool in the immediate future because with this software I have the tools I need
to calculate the critical route of the work, the decrease in the delivery time, the calculation
of costs to determine the feasibility of the works, as well as have the support of a program
that controls the development of the project. Project offers me all these alternatives.
