contents <p>The construction industry has witnessed a paradigm transition from manual scheduling techniques to advanced software <br>solutions. The construction industry is grappling with the increasing complexity of project planning and management. This review <br>explores the transition by focusing on Microsoft Project (MSP) as a dynamic tool that bridges the gap between static manual methods <br>and modern, automated approaches. However, even when these basic methods of scheduling are used they typically incorporate <br>errors and time is used hence not good enough to handle the new generation construction projects complexities. From critical path <br>management through real time update, consumable resource management and dynamic modelling of schedule delay, MSP has a <br>substantial set of function in its integrated package. The study highlights the key differences between manual techniques and MSP, <br>emphasizing the latter’s capabilities in streamlining workflows, improving collaboration, and providing actionable insights through <br>advanced reporting tools. Comparative analysis of case studies demonstrates MSP’s effectiveness in reducing project durations and <br>costs, alongside its user-friendly interface, which enhances its adoption in diverse construction environments. It's possible that using <br>MSP and other similar software can greatly enhance accurate planning, efficient use of resources, and reduction of delays, especially <br>for complicated projects. The paper concludes by advocating for the broader integration of such tools in industry practice and <br>encouraging further research to optimise their application for projects of varying scales. This shift towards technology-driven project <br>management is essential to meeting the evolving demands of the construction sector efficiently and sustainably.</p>
