Product features

• Simple, intuitive user experience
  It's already the most widely adopted project-management application, and improvements in Project make it even easier to use. The same familiar graphical interface in Excel and other Office programs helps users get productive quickly.
• Enhanced collaboration and reporting
  Project helps managers clearly communicate project status, schedules, and task information to stakeholders throughout the organization, regardless of their location. Team members can receive and respond to tasks through Outlook, Outlook Web Access, or Windows Mobile Phone, while dashboards enable them to create and modify reports on the fly. With a clear view of tasks, milestones, and phases, your project timelines are easier to share and understand.
• Effective resource management
  Project and resource managers now have a more convenient way to visualize the right mix of people and workloads. With Project, drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to arrange and fine-tune allocations of people, time, and resources.
• A scalable and connected platform
  Because it integrates with familiar Microsoft technologies - including Exchange Server, Outlook, SharePoint, and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server - Project provides scalable, centralized administration of project and portfolio management while leveraging your agency's existing software investments.
