Last week I attended the Microsoft project 2010 conference at Arizona. Since then many have blogged about the new cool features that were unveiled. One of the features that I'm excited about was the new option to use Microsoft project for top down planning. Till today, almost all of our customers start to use Microsoft project for planning their projects after they have most of the outlined plan done –either in word, excel or in E-mails. Project just was too rigid for them to doodle their thoughts, and unconfirmed assessments..

With the new ability to turn o f f the scheduling engine and manually enter tasks, dates, duration that are TBDs, project 2010 can now perform as the place to start planning your project, and will save the users the time to convert from the scrabble mode to the detailed and formal planning phase.

Some of my colleagues are a bit worried about potential miss-use of this feature by users, who can now plan project without turning the scheduling engine on throughout the planning phase , and onto the execution.

Good process need to be put in place in organizations to make sure this does not occur.
