Little of this is evident to the user, which is a selling point for the tool; however, the tool is only as good as the information that is entered into it. Any planning and schedule tool – Microsoft Project® included – is able to produce wallpaper if you allow it. To provide a blueprint for project success needs something more and that is to understand a few basic rules, one of which is to create a network-based plan. For some time to come, science is not going to make up for a failure to master the art of planning and scheduling.
