For which target groups is MS Project 2021 designed?

Data contained in Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint files as well as task lists can be imported into Project while retaining the formatting and outlines there, which reduces the effort required for editing.

Depending on the MS Project 2021 edition - buy Standard or Professional - users have additional options for use or synchronization with external data sources.

Visually, MS Project 2021 Buy presents itself, in contrast to the previous version, with an even clearer desktop interface to facilitate access to frequently used functions. The improved user-friendliness is complemented by the "dark gray" and "white" designs familiar from MS Office, which enable more concentrated work on the screen by reducing the colors.

Important functions in MS Project 2021

In addition to the basic functions mentioned above, MS Project 2021 Standard as well as Professional has other proven features that either complement them, e.g. in resource management and report generation, or provide additional functionality, e.g. for portfolio management:

Portfolio Management

Portfolio management is one of the most important components of MS Project 2021, as it allows not only a single project, but all projects to be recorded and their respective progress to be monitored. Project managers thus have an overview of all current statuses at all times - if a project is not progressing on schedule, they can react immediately and take countermeasures. The most common occurrences here are tasks that are not yet completed according to the schedule and costs that are running out of budget. Especially when other projects are affected by these undesirable developments, because planned resources become scarce or unavailable as a result, the current status can be made visible immediately in MS Project 2021 through the independent updating with a single click and critical situations can be identified.

The connection of MS Project 2021 Buy to Power BI also provides detailed display options for budget management with regard to analysis as well as suggestions for improvements.

Structuring and linking individual project tasks

MS Project 2021 differentiates between four types of activities or activity types in project entry and control, which are based on a planning formula in which the three values of work, duration and allocation units are related to each other:

• • Fixed units
  • Fixed work
  • Fixed duration
  • Activity control

MS Project 2021 provides a mask for this purpose, which can be used to control the various tasks:

• • Tasks can be imported into a bar chart, including the simultaneous addition of multiple tasks as well as the assignment of the respective resources and relationships.
  • All tasks can optionally be linked to each other via the drop-down menu, or in the task table in the "Collective task name" field.
  • Each timeline can have its own start and end dates, and timeline bars can be specially labeled, providing more clarity for the tasks that are linked together.
  • Individual tasks within a project can be sorted hierarchically according to importance - this feature is particularly useful for more complex project schedules, as individual changes are automatically applied to all associated tasks.
  • Similarly, individual tasks can be linked together to visualize their relationship.

Resource management

Resource management in MS Project 2021 basically distinguishes between three types of resources: "labor", "material" and "costs". This allows detailed, clearer and thus more efficient planning and management of all resources scheduled for a project. Via the resource pool, these can be centrally managed for cross-project planning and clearly assigned to the individual activities; restrictions in terms of their availability in terms of time as well as possible risks in the event of manpower overloads can thus be avoided, as well as in the event of cost limits being exceeded.

Report generation - Buy MS Project 2021

The creation of meaningful reports on a project is an essential aspect - also of Agile Project Management - here MS Project offers many options to visualize project data in an informative way, depending on the intended use. This applies not only to the status quo of an ongoing project, but also to reports on completed tasks. Insights gained and best practices can be shared with others in the team or partners. Project 2021 provides a wide range of report templates for the most common project types, which can be further enhanced with images, graphics, etc. The reports can be created in a variety of formats. The created reports can be made available to others in .PDF, .XPS, .CSV, .XML formats.
