MICROSOFT PROJECT 2019 STANDARD

MS Project 2019 Standard - the project management software as single user version for purchase

Project 2019 Standard is the latest version of Microsoft's flexible project management system, which is aimed primarily at SMEs and self-employed professionals. The program contains all functions necessary for planning, controlling and reporting of projects. Many practical templates and features facilitate the creation and management of all tasks and thus increase efficiency, which is particularly important in modern business life.

Project 2019 Standard meets all requirements for successful portfolio, risk and document management, including central administration and resources as well as time recording. The use of Gantt charts provides clarity for complex projects by allowing multiple integrated schedules and easier understanding of task relationships, and the integrated reports provide important insights and information for communicating with others.

Who is Project Standard 2019 designed for?

Project 2019 Standard Edition is designed for individuals or project managers who develop and manage projects on their own rather than in a team, as is the case in small to medium sized businesses. This edition therefore does not require synchronization with Microsoft SharePoint or Project Server. Nevertheless, Project 2019 Standard is one of the most popular editions for completing most project management tasks, as it offers all the necessary functions and features as well as business intelligence tools for typical areas of project planning and management, such as Project schedules, cost planning, task management, reporting.

The Microsoft Project 2019 Standard is only available in regular shops with a volume license agreement; Wiresoft, on the other hand, offers it as used software in the form of a single license as a purchased version - and at a significantly lower price. This enables not only SMEs but also self-employed persons to use this Microsoft software.

With the other Microsoft applications available in Wiresoft's software online shop, which are also offered at a reduced price as used software single licenses, customers can also use Microsoft programs compatible with Project 2019 Standard, such as Windows 10. The following overview shows the most important optimizations and features of the Project 2019 Standard edition.

The new Project Version 2019 Standard features and improvements

Project 2019 Standard also differs optically from the previous version by a clearer presentation of the desktop interface. This can now also be displayed in the Office"colored", "dark gray" and "white".

New features in MS Project 2019 Standard now include the practical function of linking tasks via the drop-down menu, the new field "Collective task name" in the task table, as well as the option of labeling timeline bars and displaying the task progress. In addition, the start and end dates can be set separately for each timeline, providing a better overview of the tasks involved. There is also a new quick search function for words or phrases that refer to a specific task. For more details, see below.

Easy project creation and management

With Project 2019 Standard, new projects can be created with just a few clicks: You can choose between a large selection of templates defined for typical project types or a neutral, empty Gantt chart. Data or task lists from Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint can also be transferred to Project; the corresponding formatting or structure is retained. Tasks can be imported into the Gantt chart via the Project task mask, and the simultaneous addition of several tasks is also supported, including resource assignments and relationships. Various display options and functions are available:

Diagram types in Project 2019 Standard

In addition to the Gantt chart display, Project 2019 Standard also offers many other options for displaying tasks or resources as well as links to a project. Project offers the following different types of views to display information about a project as tables, groups, filters, or details: Activity, resource, and assignment views; display formats include the standard Gantt chart (bars), the network chart (flowchart), a form, a sheet (table), and a usage (columns).

Structuring and linking activities

In Project Standard 2019, you can use the Tab key to add positive or negative indentations to individual tasks to outline or display hierarchies in a project, with changes automatically affecting all tasks.

You can also link any two tasks in a project to display their relationship as a relationship. This allows changes to one task to affect the linked task, which is especially important for project schedules.

New: To link a task in MS Project Standard 2019, it is no longer necessary to know its ID: it is sufficient to select the appropriate cell in the "Predecessor" column, which will display a downward pointing arrow.

Labeling of the timeline bars

New: The progress of a project can also be displayed in MS Project Standard 2019 in a simple and understandable way, as timeline bars can now be labelled. The progress of a task can also be displayed directly, which further improves clarity.

New field "Collective task name

New: MS Project Standard 2019 now has the field "Collective task name" to find a specific task in the overall plan of a project, which can quickly become cumbersome, especially with a large list. The read-only field improves the clarity of a project structure by displaying the names of all summary tasks assigned to a resource.

Typical components in MS Project Standard 2019

Of course, the already existing indispensable basic components have also been further optimised in MS Project 2019 Standard:

Portfolio Management

Portfolio management, with which all projects can be recorded and controlled, is still one of the important components of MS Project 2019 Standard. Project managers thus always maintain an overview and immediately recognise the current status, so that they can react immediately if intervention is necessary when a project does not run according to plan, e.g. if certain tasks have not been completed according to the schedule, costs are exploding or resources are scarce or not available. The respective reports for a project are constantly updated independently and the current status can be viewed clearly with a single click. The MS Project 2019 Standard Edition also has new displays for budget management and schedules that provide a more detailed overview for project management; the connection to Power BI complements portfolio management with analysis functions and, if necessary, suggestions for improvements.

Intuitive resource management

The tools and features integrated in MS Project 2019 Standard for more effective resource management allow even more detailed and clear planning and administration of the use of the various resources. In Project 2019 Standard, the different types of resources are differentiated according to "work", "material" and "costs", so that they can be used even more precisely. Using the resource pool, these can be managed centrally for cross-project planning and assigned to individual activities, so that restrictions, e.g. in terms of time availability or even financial constraints (cost limits) as well as manpower utilization and the risk of overloads can be taken into account. The available budgets can also be specified for each type of resource.

The Standard via Gantt chart clearly displays the corresponding task and time recording and the respective task path shows the current status quo. In addition, all processes can be specifically organized and linked via the context-related user interface and controlled via corresponding time axes.

Reporting in MS Project Standard 2019

Another important component of agile project management is the visualization of project data in the form of reports - either to convey the status quo or as a report after the completion of a project. For this purpose, Project 2019 Standard provides a new set of typical report templates, which can be supplemented by additional illustrative graphics and diagrams to share project status information with others.

Project files can be saved in various formats: In addition to the older file formats Project 2000 - 2003 and Project 2007, .PDF, .XPS, .CSV, .XML and Microsoft Excel workbooks are available.
