Microsoft Project 2016 Standard

Project 2016 Standard: project planning on a single workstation

Project 2016 Standard is Microsoft's project management application in version 2016 for Windows. Project is installed as a separate application and is not part of the Office suites. With Project, undertakings are broken down into tasks, dates and dependencies are defined, resources and costs are assigned and progress is tracked. The Standard edition is aimed at project managers, planners and smaller teams who plan and control their projects as a file on their own PC.

Working with Project 2016

A project plan consists of tasks that are entered in a table and displayed as bars in the Gantt chart. If one task depends on the completion of another, for example interior finishing on the completion of the building shell, the two are linked. If a date shifts, Project recalculates the dependent tasks so that the effects on the project end date become visible. Milestones mark important interim goals such as acceptances, deliveries or approvals.

With resource planning, tasks are assigned to employees, machines or materials. Project then shows who is utilised to what extent in which period and makes overallocations recognisable. The planned costs are derived from resource rates and working times. During the project, actual progress is entered and compared with the originally planned status so that delays are noticed early.
