What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?

Github's Jira is similar to project's board view, but it's easier to use and better for short runs. I use it for quick projects called "sprints."

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Kanban boards let you see how jobs are moving and keep track of sprint progress. I can use conditional formatting to make jobs that are past due stand out. The teams bot sends out sprint reports right away.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are no native story points in the free sample, so you'll have to pay for full agile.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Quick sprints are kept up by project boards for agile teams.
