Off-the-shelf, the settings are not according to Project Controls best practices. A lot of schedules can already be improved by just knowing which options should be turned on or off. Furthermore, How do you create and assign resources? How can you best track progress and reschedule? And what are the benefits of good use of baselines and the different Gantt chart visualizations?
