The new Microsoft Project rolls out to customers worldwide

Microsoft on Wednesday announced a major step toward achieving the vision of increased productivity using the power of the cloud to help people and organizations achieve more, with the general availability of the new Microsoft Project.

The new Project is designed to be both simple and powerful, so anyone can get started quickly and take control of any project right away.

Project offers a redesigned user experience that is simple and intuitive.

Teams can quickly add new members and set up tasks, and then easily switch between grids, boards, or timeline (Gantt) charts to track progress. And because Project is part of the Microsoft 365 family, project teams can save time and do more with built-in connections to familiar apps like Microsoft Teams and Office.

Designed to do much more than just track progress, Project works with Teams to support collaboration and make it easy to manage all aspects of a team project, including file sharing, chats, meetings, and much more.

Team members in scattered locations can even edit tasks simultaneously, so they can get more done together, no matter where they are. To help teams stay on track, Project offers an automated scheduling engine based on effort, duration, and resources.

The new Project provides greater visibility into one’s projects and powerful tools to help one anticipate future needs. Create stunning interactive dashboards in Power BI, so one can visualize every aspect of each project at a glance. Get the big picture view of all oner projects across one’s organization with the visual, interactive Roadmap feature.

Built on the Microsoft Power Platform, Project enables one to quickly connect to the apps and services you already use, and to create custom desktop and mobile experiences to meet the specific needs of every project team.
