Scheduling Programs?

thatsthat

My firm currently uses excel for in-house staff scheduling, which works fine when you are only looking at workloads on a specific date.  The problem is, it doesn't really factor in anticipated completion dates for projects or when workloads will begin to taper off, freeing up lower level staff members to pick up extra help.  We mostly rely on staff to notify their PA when their work is dwindling and they need more to do.  This most obviously can cause a lag in production and inefficiency.  (PMs/PAs may be caught off guard, focused on working towards a deadline, and have to take time out to redline for a separate project.)

Does anyone use any specialty programs they find helpful for scheduling staff members?

We us MS Project, mostly, but we're always trying to figure this out.
