Top 10 benefits of Project 2010
Microsoft®
Project 2010 delivers powerful, visually enhanced ways
to effectively manage a wide range of projects and
programs. From meeting crucial deadlines to selecting
the right resources and empowering your teams, Project
2010 offers easier and more intuitive experiences to
help you simply be more productive and realize amazing
results.
1. Familiar and intuitive.
The
Ribbon makes finding and using your favourite tools
simpler with new graphical menus and a familiar
experience to help you easily create and manage
projects. Tooltips and contextual guidance provide
information and shortcuts so you can accomplish more in
less time. In the new Microsoft® Office Backstage™ view,
simply save, share, print, or publish your projects from
one location.
2. Save time and effort.
Save time and effort with familiar and essential
functions like text wrapping, filtering, auto-complete,
scroll and zoom, and more. Insert new columns on the
fly—data types are readily identified so that you can
quickly and effectively organize and analyze details.
Quickly share schedule details through enhanced
copy-and-paste, and retain key formatting between
Project 2010 and other Microsoft Office applications.
3. Flexible and powerful.
User-controlled
scheduling puts you in control and brings together the
flexibility and ease of use of a tool like Microsoft
Excel® 2010 and the power of the Project 2010 scheduling
engine. Create project schedules at the level of detail
that’s right for your project. Work with summary data
initially or shift to a more detailed approach when it’s
convenient. Place notes as reminders of where additional
schedule information is needed, or simply add
information as it becomes available.
4.
Easier to see and share.
With a completely new
and visually enhanced timeline view, you’ll have a
clearer view of tasks, milestones, and phases. Newly
expanded color palettes and text effects help you make
every timeline and plan look their best—and help you to
swiftly see and share important dates and deliverables.
5. At-a-glance.
(Team Planner – Pro only)
See the right mix of people and resources: simply
drag tasks to effectively plan work for your entire team
and project. The new Team Planner view in Project
Professional 2010 shows resources and work over time, to
help you spot problems and resolve issues. New in
Project 2010, the Task Inspector offers additional
analysis and intuitive guidance to resolve scheduling
conflicts derived from a task’s attributes and assigned
resources, which you can choose to act upon or not.
6. Control and deliver.
Quickly compare
budget versus actual versus forecasted values to measure
an initiative's progress with the flexibility of setting
multiple baselines. Create high-level time-phased
budgets with user-defined categories for costs and
labor. Validate budgets against bottom-up estimates
built by using labor, material, and cost resources.
Control project costs by comparing budgets to completed
tasks and forecasted totals. Use built-in earned-value
metrics for predictive analysis and integrated
performance management.
7. Evaluate
possibilities.
(Inactive Tasks – Pro only)
Often you'll need to evaluate scenarios and consider
options when planning new projects or monitoring ongoing
work. Using inactive tasks, new in Project Professional
2010, you can easily experiment with your project plan
and perform what-if analysis. A simple toggle removes or
inserts one or more tasks, along with their effect on
the project schedule. Project 2010 also offers more
built-in tools to help support what-if analysis and
scenario comparison, including multiple-level undo and
change highlighting.
8. Collaborate with
others.
(Task Status Updates – Pro only)
Connect your teams by synchronizing with Microsoft
SharePoint® Foundation 2010. Using Project Professional
2010, you can synchronize SharePoint Foundation 2010 and
Project Professional 2010 project task status updates
for you and your team members. You can also save your
project files to SharePoint Foundation 2010 team sites
to communicate plans and collaborate on progress.
9. Grow capabilities.
(Connect to Project
Server 2010 – Pro only)
Realize the power of
unified project and portfolio management by combining
Project Professional 2010 with Microsoft Project Server
2010. Together, Project Professional 2010 and Project
Server 2010 create the Microsoft Enterprise Project
Management (EPM) Solution, and deliver end-to-end
capabilities to help organizations prioritize
investments and optimize resources, gain control of all
types of work, and visualize performance by using
powerful dashboards.
10. Enhance performance.
Use the 64-bit options of Project 2010 to enhance
performance and support very large projects and
programs. Project Standard 2010 and Project Professional
2010 are offered in 32-bit and 64-bit options to support
a diverse range of project types and sizes. 64-bit
options take advantage of the expanded memory and
optimized capabilities of the latest processors and of
the 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
64-bit Project Professional 2010 also offers enhanced
performance and handles extremely large project files
with ease when connected to Project Server 2010.
