Microsoft Project 2019 Standard Open License Features

Resource management made easy

With Project 2019 Standard, you get the best experience possible when it comes to managing resources and keeping track of costs. Resource rates are used to calculate allocation costs, which are accumulated and summarized at the resource level. Each of these features can be assigned to multiple tasks, and each task can also be assigned to multiple resources. Schedule tasks based on the availability of resources, as defined in the schedules mentioned earlier.

Note: All features can be defined as unlimited, which means that additional software might be required to manage a larger company or one that produces physical goods.

Use professional charts

Microsoft Project 2019 Standard comes with the endless amount of comprehensive yet professional charts that you’re used to from predecessors. The ability to chart and graph data is especially useful for project managers who need to present their data in an understandable way. The charts offered in Project 2019 Standard include Gantt charts, which are known to efficiently display schedules and as a result reduce training time for newcomers to a team while simultaneously making it easier for experienced workers to get their job done.

Make plans for the future

Project 2019 Standard is able to assist you in thinking in advance. It always tries to give you possible solutions for issues that may come up while working on tasks or entire projects.

Take task management to the next level by accessing the entire list of your tasks and having the ability to set any task to ‘inactive’. After a task was modified, such as made inactive, Project 2019  Standard will attempt to determine the best possible scenario that’s tailored to that action. Make your business planning a lot easier by taking advantage of this advanced feature.

Say goodbye to recreating entire schedules or business plans. Everything can be done automatically in a matter of seconds, which is why Project 2019 Standard is a great application for any business.

Work easier with multiple visual timelines

Having everything on the same timeline may seem convenient for smaller projects, however, it can become quite a hassle to deal with on any other scale. The ability to create and work with multiple timelines is here to make everything more comprehensive. Using an eye-catching design, you’ll never get lost in a project again, which allows you to further increase productivity and manage things easier.

This feature is also helpful to project managers. Designing a project isn’t an easy task and Microsoft knows that. By implementing multiple timelines into your projects, you can tackle all of your tasks and needs, as well as understand every aspect of the project clearly. Thanks to the easy sharing options, you can now connect your timelines between other Microsoft Office tools such as PowerPoint.

Share your documents in a matter of seconds

One of the greatest benefits of working with Project 2019 Standard is the incredible integrated experience you get with other Office suite apps. With better sharing tools, you can easily get your project information from point A to point B. If you need to create a detailed report of a project, you can simply copy and paste the information into Word, and if you want to create a slideshow presentation, simply import your data into PowerPoint and start designing.

You can also store project artifacts in your OneDrive. This makes sharing documents feel better than ever before. Don’t miss out on the practical and beneficial sharing options Project 2019 Standard provides and begin making your work less expensive and time-consuming.

New “Task Summary Name” field

If we’re going to talk about Project 2019 Standard’s features, we must mention the new Task Summary Name field which was added in this release. While you work on a project, especially one on a larger scale, a huge list of tasks can quickly pile up and make your job harder. Trying to figure out a task’s intended use and which plan it belongs under can cause loss of time, resulting in loss of money.

To combat this issue, there has been a new field added to Project 2019 Standard that helps this part of the process to stay organized. The new Task Summary Name field is a read-only field that displays a summary of the task which you can assign yourself. You can easily enable this field in the Task view and shine a light on the structure of your project.

Accessibility improvements

We all need a little help sometimes. Microsoft doesn’t fail to deliver when it comes to the accessibility of Project 2019 Standard. This release made it easier for assistive technology such as Windows Narrator to identify Project’s elements and provide proper help to people by reading out words and recognizing different parts of the application. Besides enhanced support, ease of access features such as high contrast options and keyboard support has been made available.

Spell checking is also something you can take advantage of in Project 2019 Standard, as it allows you to work more efficiently without having to stop to look up the spelling of a word. The application will help you with it the moment it detects a spelling or grammar errors.
