when one year ago I was writing a book on MSP 2010, I was really wondering what "manual Scheduling" could be used for; I have found a first answer a few weeks ago when giving a training to somebody working on "social" projects
my student was willing to schedule tasks in a project where he only knows that a 5 day task should be accomplished during Q1 2012; we used manual scheduling and hierarchical summary tasks to "draw" the project (please note I do not say "schedule"); in our opinion, this new way of doing will save time when the user has infos enough to swith to automatic scheduling, he will not be obliged to key in another project in the software
however, this case does not answer the more general question: is "manual scheduling" to be used by a professional planner on a large project?
