        abstract = {The success of construction projects depends on efficient project scheduling, where prompt resource management and teamwork are crucial. Traditional manual scheduling is no longer adequate due to tighter deadlines and increasingly complicated projects. The usefulness, awareness, and advantages of Microsoft Project (MSP) in construction management are assessed in this study. The goals are to determine its value for planning and execution, to comprehend professional awareness, particularly among SMEs, to identify important benefits, and to draw attention to typical implementation issues. Using a structured questionnaire, information was gathered from 50 people in the business, including consultants, developers, contractors, and PMCs. The findings indicate that while MSP is excellent at planning, scheduling, and tracking, adoption is constrained by expense, lack of training, and resistance to change. The study concludes that MSP may greatly increase project performance throughout the construction industry with improved training, affordability, and awareness.},
