"Our organization has used Microsoft Project for many years, but has always found that it lacked effective reporting capabilities. The timeline view in Project 2010 really only gave us very basic reports, so we still needed a more robust way to report on our projects and programs in a standard way. OnePager Pro addressed that need perfectly, and is now a default installation for every Microsoft Project user in our company." - Tom R., PMO DirectorThe sample reports below compare a typical OnePager Pro chart to a basic timeline created in Project 2010. You can also read a side-by-side comparison of some of the most important features of OnePager Pro and Microsoft Project 2010 below.
