Microsoft Project 2024 Professional - Retail

Project 2024 Professional: project planning with dates, resources and costs

Microsoft Project 2024 Professional is a Windows application for planning and controlling projects. Tasks, dependencies, dates, resources and costs are brought together in a project plan from which timelines and reports can be derived. Project is installed separately from Office and, according to Microsoft, is compatible with Office 2024 and Office LTSC. This offer is the retail variant. The Professional edition is aimed at project managers, project management offices, construction and engineering firms and IT departments that coordinate several tasks and participants over longer periods.

Scheduling and Gantt chart

A new project can be started from one of the included templates or created from scratch. When tasks are linked, Project automatically calculates start and finish dates based on the dependencies. If, for example, the delivery of a component is delayed, all dependent work steps move accordingly in the plan. The Gantt chart highlights how tasks are related and thus shows which delay affects the end date. With multiple timelines, complex schedules can be displayed clearly and, for example, transferred to a presentation for senior management.

Resources, costs and reports

People, machines and materials are assigned to tasks as resources. What-if scenarios let you check how a different assignment affects dates and utilisation before the plan is changed. A saved baseline records the original status so that decision-makers can compare actual progress with the plan. Built-in reports such as Burndown or Resource Overview summarise progress and utilisation for stakeholders.

With timesheets, time spent on project and non-project activities is recorded, for example as a basis for billing or payroll. The Professional edition can also be synchronised with Project Online and Project Server; these server services are separate products and are not included in the scope of delivery.
