Who is Project Standard 2019 designed for?

Project 2019 Standard Edition is designed for individuals or those project managers who primarily develop and manage projects alone rather than as part of a team, as is the case primarily in small to medium sized businesses. Therefore, this edition does not synchronize with the Microsoft SharePoint or Project server. Nevertheless, Project 2019 Standard is among the most popular editions for completing most project management tasks, because it offers all the necessary functions and features, as well as business intelligence tools for the typical areas of project planning and management, such as: Project schedules, cost planning, task management, reporting.

The Microsoft Project 2019 Standard edition is only available in regular stores with a volume license contract; Wiresoft, on the other hand, offers it as used software in the form of a single license as a purchase version - and at a significantly lower price. This enables SMEs as well as self-employed persons to use this Microsoft software.

With the other Microsoft applications available in the Wiresoft Software online store, which are also offered as Used Software single licenses at a reduced price, customers can also use corresponding 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 visually from the previous version with a clearer desktop interface. This can now also be displayed in the office designs "colored", "dark gray" and "white".

In terms of new features, MS Project 2019 Standard now includes the practical function of linking tasks together via the drop-down menu, the new "Collective task name" field in the task table, as well as the option of labeling timeline bars and displaying the progress of the task. In addition, the start and end dates can be set separately for each timeline, providing a better overview of the tasks associated with it. There is also a new quick search for words or phrases related to a specific task. More details on this below.

Easy project creation and management

With Project 2019 Standard, new projects can be created with just a few clicks: Optionally, a large selection of templates defined for typical project types or a neutral, empty Gantt chart is available for this purpose. Data or task lists from Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint can also be transferred to Project; the corresponding formatting or outlines are retained.

Various display options as well as functions are available for this purpose:

Chart types in Project 2019 Standard

In addition to the display as a Gantt chart, many other options are also available in Project 2019 Standard to display tasks or resources as well as relationships for a project. For this purpose, Project offers the following different types of views to display information about a project as tables, groups, via filters or details: Task, resource and assignment views; in addition to the default Gantt chart (bar), the network diagram (flow chart) and the display as a form, sheet (table) or usage (columns).

Outline and linking of activities

For outlining or displaying hierarchies in a project, in Project Standard 2019individual tasks can be assigned positive or negative indents via the Tab key, with changes automatically affecting all tasks.

Any two tasks in a project can also be linked together to display their relationship as a relationship. This means that changes to one task also affect the other task linked to it, which is particularly 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 enough to select the appropriate cell in the "Predecessor" column, which will cause a downward pointing arrow to appear. Clicking on it will display a list of all the tasks for the project and only the appropriate one needs to be activated.

Labeling of the timeline bars

New: The progress of a project over time can also be displayed easily and comprehensibly in MS Project Standard 2019, as timeline bars can now be labeled. The progress of a task can also be displayed directly in the process, further improving 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 extensive lists. The read-only field improves the clarity of a project structure by displaying the names of all collective tasks assigned to a resource.

Typical components in MS Project Standard 2019

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

Portfolio Management

One of the important components of MS Project 2019 Standard is still the portfolio management, with which all projects can be recorded and controlled. Project managers thus always maintain an overview and immediately recognize the current status in each case, so that they can react immediately if intervention is necessary when a project is not going according to plan, e.g. when certain tasks have not been completed according to the schedule, costs explode or resources become scarce or are not available. The respective reports for a project update themselves continuously 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 supplements the portfolio management with functions for analysis 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 management of the use of the various resources. In Project 2019 Standard, this involves differentiating between the various types of resources according to "labor", "material" and "costs" so that they can be used even more precisely. Via the resource pool, these can be managed centrally for cross-project planning and assigned to individual tasks, so that restrictions, e.g. in terms of time availability or also of a financial nature (cost limits), as well as the utilization of manpower and thus the risk of overloads, can also be taken into account here. For each type of resource, the available budgets can also be specified.

The Standard view via Gantt chart clearly displays the corresponding activity and time recording and the current status quo is shown via the respective activity path. In addition, all tasks can be specifically organized and linked via the context-sensitive user interface and controlled via corresponding timelines.

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. To this end, Project 2019 Standard provides a new set of typical report templates that can be supplemented with additional illustrative graphics and charts to share project status information with others.

Project files can be saved in a variety of formats: In addition to the older file formats Project 2000 - 2003 as well as Project 2007, .PDF, .XPS, .CSV, .XML as well as Microsoft Excel workbooks are available here in particular.
