Microsoft Project Professional’s user-controlled scheduling ensures tha the user is in complete conrol. It unites  the flexibility and ease of a tool like Microsoft Excel® 2010 with the power of the Project scheduling engine. Users can select the level of detail which is right for each project and then work with summary data initially or use more in depth data for more complex phases or projects. This is very useful during the early planning stage when details may be unclear..
