Run!AzTech
“Microsoft Project is the Excel of Project Management, but it needs some big improvements to work with the large projects we build and manage. And we need to work inside MS Project, not in some other tool.”
That was the design challenge put to our AzTech Magic team (Developers) before we designed and developed Run!AzTech Ribbon for Microsoft Project.
We built Run!AzTech for our team’s toolkit, one macro at a time and over two decades of helping clients build, analyze, and maintain complex schedules. Now anyone can use Run!AzTech’s powerful features. Trace the driving or critical paths to or from any task or milestone within seconds. Run out-of-sequence status report. Navigate large schedules on Microsoft Project desktop or Project Online (Project Server). A must-have in any scheduling professional’s toolkit. Easy for non-schedulers like PMs, CAMs, and Analysts.
