Couple of questions:
1)Given that the project planning task has been greatly automated over the years with the introduction of MSP, Microplan Xpert (My personal favourite - though nobody else seems to have even heard of it), Primavera etc and supported by other tools - Excel, Word etc.
What major differences have there been in the planning role that still makes a project reporting cycle last a month (for larger projects) when what took a month to create project reports and updated plans now takes literally hours?
2)If you are involved in planning RandD projects. How much project management methodology does your company actually use ie is Risk analysis implemented at project level or summary activity
