With easier and more intuitive choices, Microsoft® Project Professional 2010 delivers better experiences so you can be more productive and realize amazing results. Individuals, teams, and the enterprise enjoy powerful, visually enhanced ways to manage a wide range of projects—simplifying planning, collaboration, and resource allocation
The copy-and-paste function is alive and well. In fact, it is even better than ever in Microsoft Project Professional 2010 because now you can copy and paste content and retain key formatting such as outline levels and column headings. It could be as simple as copying a task list from an e-mail message, or moving a complete plan from Project to Microsoft Excel 2010. Either way, with improved copy-and-paste capabilities in Project 2010, you will be more effective setting up project plans and communicating relevant project information.
With the Microsoft Office Fluent™ user interface incorporated into Project 2010, you will find it much more intuitive to access relevant features and functions based on how you plan, track, and report on projects. Whether you are managing your tasks, resources, project information, or you simply need to communicate more effectively, the Ribbon serves up relevant commands in a manner that matches the way you work. The following is just one example of how easy it is to format your Gantt chart in Project 2010 for better communication.
One of the best new features in Microsoft Project 2010 is the Timeline view. The Timeline provides you with a high-level, “big picture” overview of the entire project. You can easily add key milestones or other key tasks to create a concise project summary for more effective communication to key stakeholders. When you are ready, you can send it off in an e-mail, add it to a presentation, or simply print it for an eye-catching, executive-style report.
Quickly customize the information you work with by using the Add New Column feature.The Add New Column feature Microsoft Project 2010 helps you manage and communicate your project information. The default Gantt Chart view contains standard columns such as Task Name, Duration, Start, Finish, Predecessors, and Resources. But there will be plenty of times when you might want to add more columns, such as Work or Costs, and you can even save your modified view as a new table for future use.
In the Team Planner view in Microsoft Project Professional 2010 you can see at a glance what tasks have been assigned to resources. With a simple dragging motion you can change existing assignments to over allocated resources or assign currently unassigned tasks to available resources. In the Team Planner view you’ll find that managing resources just got a whole lot easier.
With Microsoft Project 2010 it’s easy to add a top-level summary task to roll up your entire project to one summary-level line. This lets you see the total duration, and start and finish dates for the entire project. You can even roll up other project details, like costs or work, if these fields are part of your schedule. In addition, you can add a project summary task to your Timeline view to create more effective presentations. An additional option is adding outline numbers for tasks, such as 1.1 or 1.2, based on the location of the task in your plan. Outline numbering updates automatically if you move or add tasks.
It’s likely that occasionally you’ll notice red underlines on dates in your Microsoft Project 2010 project plan. These indicate possible scheduling conflicts that will require your attention to resolve. You can use the new Task Inspector tool to help you identify precisely what is causing the problem, and to choose the best corrective action to take. For instance, in the following example, you can see that the Design phase is scheduled to end sooner than the Design Complete milestone, which causes a scheduling conflict.
With a simple click you can easily sync your Microsoft Project Professional 2010 project plan with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 (formerly Windows SharePoint Services) for better collaboration with project stakeholders, including team members and executives. Users can view project information as a task list (similar to the Gantt Chart view) in SharePoint Foundation 2010, and syncing is bidirectional so project managers can send and receive task status updates—and all stakeholders stay informed.
Using filters and highlights in Microsoft Project 2010, you can quickly focus on specific parts of your project plan for further analysis and communication. Filters are used to apply specific conditions to a set of tasks—to eliminate from view the tasks that do not meet the condition; highlights focus on or emphasize tasks that do meet a set of conditions.
