Desktop project planning and scheduling for structured workflows

Microsoft Project Professional 2024 is a desktop project management tool developed by Microsoft and designed for planning and tracking projects on Windows.

The software helps organize tasks, dependencies, and schedules using Gantt charts and multiple timeline views.

Built-in templates are available to help users create new project plans faster and with a consistent structure.

Automatic scheduling calculates start and end dates based on task relationships and dependencies.

What-if scenarios allow users to test different task and resource assignment options before making changes.

Timesheets can be used to record time spent on both project and non-project activities.
