Say goodbye to DVD installation.Īnother advantage of the new version: Dates for projects may now be scheduled out to the year 2149. The latest version of Project is delivered through Office 365. These are handy features that smooth integration with the Office applications most project managers use alongside MS Project, thus reducing confusion and fatigue.
It also incorporates the “Backstage” file management window pane.
The user interface of Project 2013 uses the MS Office “ribbon” motif introduced on Office 2007. Tasks requiring access to Project can be shared, while data retains its single-copy integrity, and locking isn’t an issue even with multiple users. Using Project on the cloud prevents a single overworked project manager from being the centerpoint of all deliverable updates and report generation. Cloud integration helps share the wealth when there’s an excess of data-entry and reporting demands. The new cloud installation and MS SharePoint integration is helpful given the collaborative nature of projects in general. Thus, MS Project becomes a database of record for an entire large-scale project. By remaining flexible and editable in the extreme, MS Project can stay updated to reflect the real-world status of the project. Tasks can be rescheduled, and new tasks can be added. MS Project allows the visualization of a project’s entire scope, allowing each separate functional area to be allocated its own “swim lane.” To each swim lane owners are assigned, progress is tracked.
With the new cloud deployment feature, Microsoft Project embodies the essence of collaboration. The latest version of Project is all that and more, allowing deployment both on-site and in the cloud. Microsoft Project is the dominant project management software at most companies for a reason: Project offers a comprehensive set of project management tools, and has for years.
