Usually many construction industries in India do not practice the use of project management properly. Poorly managed projects usually result in a huge amount to all stakeholders not just financially but also psychologically and emotionally as well as it also consumes a lot of time. This has greatly motivated us to carry out the working andfunctioning of a project using modern project management tool, one of which is MSP (Microsoft Project). This paper consists of planning and scheduling of various activities involved in a construction project using MSP. The presented work clearly gives the difference between carrying out the work using MSP and traditional planning techniques. The presented work has been carried out on a residential building in Mumbai and it clearly shows how the use of MSP software can speed up the construction making it cost effective. Methodology for the presented work includes defining the problem statement, collection of data and finally coming to the conclusion.  \nKeywords: -Project Management, Scheduling, Planning, Activities, Microsoft Project.  \n   ***    \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nProject management is the planning, monitoring and scheduling of all aspects ofa project and the motivation of all those involved in it to achieve the project objectives on time and to the specified cost, quality and performance. Construction project management is the art and science of managing all aspects of the project to achieve the project mission objectives, the specific time, budget cost and predefined quality specifications; working efficiently and effectively in the changing project environment with due regards to construction worker’s safety and health. Project management is essentially aimed at producing an end product that will effect some change for the benefit of the organisation that instigated the project. It is the initiation, planning and control of a range of tasks required to deliver this end product.  \n1.1 Importance of Construction Project Planning  \na) Planning helps to minimize the cost by optimum utilization of available resources.  \nb) Planning reduces irrational approaches, duplication of works and inter departmental conflicts.  \nc) Planning encourages innovation and creativity among the construction managers.  \nd) Planning imparts competitive strength to the enterprise.  \n1.2 Purpose of Scheduling  \na) A Schedule is the reflection of the plan.  \nb) It is the determination of time and sequence of operation in the project and their assembly to give the overall completion time.  \nc) The process of scheduling uncovers flaws in the plan, leading to easy revision of the plan.  \n1.3 Microsoft Project  \nMicrosoft Project is a project management software product, developed and sold by Microsoft. It is designed to assist a project manager in developing a plan, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing the budget, and analyzing workloads.
