Microsoft Project 2021 Professional

Project 2021 Professional: project planning with Gantt chart, timelines and reports

Microsoft Project 2021 Professional is a Windows application for planning projects. Tasks, dates, resources and costs are brought together in a project plan from which timelines and analyses can be created. Project is installed separately from Office. Project 2021 Professional is mainly an option for workplaces where existing project files are to be continued with this version.

Planning in the Gantt chart and on the timeline

In the Gantt chart, tasks with duration, start and finish dates are displayed as bars and linked to each other so that shifts affect the dependent work steps. The Timeline shows the most important tasks and milestones in condensed form. Project 2021 allows several timeline bars with their own date ranges, for example one per construction phase, and the finished timeline can be formatted with colours and labels and inserted into presentations, documents or emails.

Analyses of progress, resources and costs

Predefined reports are available via the Report menu. Dashboards show completed and remaining work, upcoming milestones and planned, actual and remaining costs in relation to the budget. Resource reports make overallocated resources visible, and cost reports show, for example, expenditure per quarter or compare costs and dates with the baseline. Progress reports list critical, late and slipping tasks so that deviations are noticed early. The interface of Project 2021 has been revised, and colours can be entered directly as a hexadecimal value.
