Exclusive functions and features of the Edition MS Project 2016 Professional

• Better communication via Skype for Business: MS Project Professional 2016 is designed for the use of Skype for Business, which further optimizes communication and thus team collaboration.

• The Gantt chart on which each project is based highlights individual task paths, so that users are always informed about all individual tasks and their relationships or importance for the entire project.

Other new features and tools in the MS Project 2016 release

Working in an environment familiar from MS Office makes it easier to get started and use the application intuitively: The editions of Project 2016 are characterized by the analogous to the Office-typical desktop view including the menu bar; especially users who use Excel will therefore quickly find their way around in Project.

The creation of a new project is possible with just a few clicks: A neutral Gantt chart is always available as a template, into which project data from Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint can be imported.

Analogous to the Office version of the same generation, the "Tell me what you want to do" search function is also available here, which is used to find functions within the complex system more quickly. For this purpose, an input field is available in which the respective search term or a question is typed - the answer is provided as a list with all matching solutions, also including a description of the process. The many other functionalities available in MS Project 2016 include the following in particular:

Portfolio and Resource Management

The central task area of MS Project 2016 is still portfolio management: The current status of all projects entered in the software can be checked at any time via the Microsoft Project Client, including information on problems with adherence to deadlines or the available resources such as manpower or budget. For this purpose, Project 2016 provides its own displays or views.

In addition to the control features, MS Project 2016 Pro also provides further tools for the targeted management of resources depending on their type. These are divided into "Labor", "Material", and "Cost", which better addresses the respective characteristics or their critical points: Cost and time limits, people, etc. can thus be controlled more precisely. In the resource pool, these can be recorded centrally and assigned separately to individual projects and sections.

Resource Management / Resource Engagement incl. Team Planner

The "Resource Engagement" tool in Project 2016 is used for the detailed creation of resource agreements between project managers and teams in order to identify bottlenecks of any kind in good time. The integrated resource pool can be used to manage all available resources across projects, and the "Team Planner" can be used to coordinate the available capacities between the team members involved in a project.

Multiple timelines and hierarchies

With the improved timeline functions in Project 2016 Pro, a much more differentiated overview of projects is now available: multiple timelines can be created for a project, each focusing on a different aspect: for example, the general timeline with an overview of all phases can be supplemented by another view that shows a specific phase in more detail within it. Likewise, a "Milestones" view can be added. Users add corresponding representations simply by clicking on the Gantt view and the corresponding settings are available via the ribbon.

In addition, projects in Project 2016 can be subdivided hierarchically into a main project with subprojects. This representation links both levels with each other, so that the tasks for individual sections remain controllable: the project manager always keeps track of all parts of the schedule, since all information from the main project is also displayed in the subordinate project.

"What-if" analyses

In addition to planning and controlling the real project progress, it is also part of the management to make reliable forecasts about the future course. Project 2016 Professional offers a corresponding tool for this purpose, with which project managers can run through various scenarios that serve to identify typical problems such as resource bottlenecks or tight deadlines in advance. In addition to the analysis and presentation of corresponding progressions, the "What if" analysis presents suitable solutions, so that a greater scope for action is created.

Professional reporting in MS Project 2016

The regular creation of meaningful reports on specific phases of a project is one of the typical tasks of the project manager, in order to document its progress, but also successes and difficulties, so that these can also be used as a basis for future similar tasks. For this purpose, Microsoft Project 2016 offers various templates and tables as well as views:

• Older baseline plan values - on duration, costs, deadlines, etc. - can be compared with current plan values of a project to immediately identify deviations.
• Graphical reports on individual aspects can also be created and the project data exported to Excel or MS Visio for further processing.
• Dynamic reports are directly adapted to changes in planning; they can also be used in PowerPoint, Word or Outlook.
• Burndown reports allow comparisons to be made between projects in the planning stage that have not yet been completed and those that have already been completed.
