Copper Smooth Projects Zoho Projects task took the number one spot. Like most tools in this category, task provides the ability to create Gantt charts, numerous reports and views, project dashboards, and it provides integration with Microsoft Project files. One of its unique features is its support of iPhones.

See End Note 1 or visit the Web sites for any of these products and use a free trial version. See Appendix B for more information on using task. Why not just use a spreadsheet or database to help manage projects? You can do a lot of project management planning and tracking using non-project management software.

You could use a simple word processor to list tasks, resources, dates, and so on. If you put that information into a spreadsheet, you can easily sort it, graph it, and perform other functions. A relational database tool could provide even more manipulation of data. You can use email and other tools to collaborate with others. However, project management software is designed specifically for managing projects, so it normally includes several distinct and important features not found in other software products: Creating work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, and network diagrams: As mentioned in this text, a fundamental concept of project management is breaking down the scope of the project into a work breakdown structure WBS.

The WBS is the basis for creating the project schedule, normally shown as a Gantt chant. The Gantt chart shows start and end dates of tasks as well as dependencies between tasks, which are more clearly shown in a network diagram. Project management software makes it easy to create a WBS, Gantt chart, and network.

These features help the project manager and team visualize the project at various levels of detail. Integrating scope, time, and cost data: The WBS is a key tool for summarizing the scope of a project, and the Gantt chart summarizes the time or schedule for a project. Project management software allows you to assign cost and other resources to tasks on the WBS, which are tied to the schedule. This allows you to create a cost baseline and use earned value management to track project performance in terms of scope, time, and cost in an integrated fashion.

Setting a baseline and tracking progress: Another important concept of project management is preparing a plan and measuring progress against the plan. Project management software lets you track progress for each task. The tracking Gantt chart is a nice tool for easily seeing the planned and actual schedule, and other views and reports show progress in other areas.

Providing other advanced project management features: Project management software often provides other advanced features, such as setting up different types of scheduling dependencies, determining the critical path and slack for tasks, working with multiple projects, and leveling resources.

For example, you can easily set up a task to start when its predecessor is halfway finished. After entering task dependencies, the software should easily show you the critical path and slack for each task.

You can also set up multiple projects in a program and perform portfolio management analysis with some products. Many project management software products also allow you to easily adjust resources within their slack allowances to create a smoother resource distribution.

These advanced features unique to project management are rarely found in other software tools. As you can see, there are several important features that are unique to project management software that make them worth using. Next youll learn whats new in Project and how to use basic features of Project Standard. Microsoft really listened to users and has revised Project to meet user needs. Learning some of the new features might seem like a chore, but it is well worth the effort.

If you are familiar with Project , it may be helpful to review some of the new features in Project Improved user interface: Project now includes the ribbon interface instead of using the old menus and toolbars similar to Office The File tab takes you to the new Backstage feature, a one-stop graphical destination for opening, saving, and printing your files.

You can also now right-click on different items, like a table cell or chart, to bring up commonly used commands quickly. A timeline view is automatically displayed above other views to show you a concise overview of the entire project schedule.

You can easily add tasks to the timeline, print it, or paste it into an e-mail. The new team planner view lets you quickly see what your team members are working on, and you can move tasks from one person to another using this view. For example, if a resource is overallocated, you can drag a task to another resource to remove the overallocation.

You can also add new columns quickly and use the new zoom slider at the lower right of the screen to zoom your schedule in and out. Also, the tab for viewing and printing reports is easier to navigate with more options for visual reports. Manual scheduling: Unlike previous versions of Project where tasks were automatically scheduled, Project uses manual schedule as its default.

In past versions of Project, summary tasks were automatically calculated based on their subtasks. Resources were also adjusted automatically. With Project , this is no longer the case. For example, you might want to enter durations for summary tasks and then fill in the detailed information for their subtasks later. When you open a new file, Project reminds you that new tasks are manually scheduled and lets you easily switch to automatic scheduling, if desired.

You can also use the new compare versions to see Gantt bars to more clearly see how one version of a project differs from another version. Improved collaboration: Project is able to provide an interface with the most popular portals used in industry.

Project Server also provides integration with Microsoft Exchange to enable team members to manage and report on tasks directly from Microsoft Outlook.

Remember that Project Standard does not include these collaboration features. Next, you will learn some basic information about Project and explore the main screen elements and Help facility. USING PROJECT Before you can use Project or any project management software effectively, you must understand the fundamental concepts of project management, such as creating work breakdown structures WBS , linking tasks, entering duration estimates, assigning resources, and so on.

Make sure you read most of this text before using Project so you understand these concepts. This text provides instructions for using the stand-alone version of Project known as Project Standard.

Project Professional and the Enterprise version of Project require special server software to perform online and collaborative functions.
