Pros

The customizable schedule for a project has helped my company keep track of which employees are assigned to which jobs.

Cons

The main downside is the limited customization options. I'd prefer to add more phases and get more detailed project information. It would also be helpful to have a single dashboard for each project instead of multiple tabs.
