Hi,
Dealing with MS-Project to coved Project Management is dramatically reducing it to Planning.
Yes, to succeed a project must be correctly planned.
MS-Project is good at it, but it's not my Favorite. I largely prefer PMW witch is much better to plan complex projects, with less bugs and hidden actions. Or maybe his free successor, Open Workbench will cover most of the needs.
But Project Management is not only planning.
What about Risks management, Actions plan, Issues management, Requests follow-up, Indicators (KPI) and all what is to be tracked on a project to correctly manage it ?
I like the approch of one2team in describing the complexity of project management. Just have a look at their web-site.
You can also have a look at my own site www.deltaprod.free.fr, where I explain what must cover a project management tool, and where I propose as a freeware my own Project Management Tool.
