The following overview shows the most important optimizations and new features of the Project 2019 Professional edition.

Exclusive features of the Project 2019 Professional Edition

Compared to the Standard edition, the Professional Edition of MS Project 2019 offers a number of exclusive features that are particularly important for larger companies when it comes to project management: For example, Project 2019 Professional also works with Skype for Business, MS SharePoint and Project Server, which enables more comprehensive communication than before; the edition can also be used in conjunction with a Project Server and Project Online. In addition, many built-in templates and typical planning tools already help to increase team productivity. Likewise, the Professional Edition also has additional views such as the Team Planner, for an improved overview.

Improved portfolio management

MS Project 2019 Professional also features improved portfolio management to keep track of a large number of projects. This way, project managers can immediately see whether a project is going according to plan or if support is needed. Additional displays for budget management as well as schedules provide a better structural overview during management, and the seamless integration with Power BI provides analysis functions including solution suggestions in critical situations.

Comprehensive resource management

The tools integrated in Project 2019 Professional make resource management and planning even clearer. In addition, typical types of resources such as "labor", "material" and "costs" can be calculated and used even better, in order to create them in a resource pool and assign them to individual tasks, especially for cross-project planning, while also taking into account time restrictions and possible overloads. Thanks to the clear task and time recording, all tasks can be updated locally and independently, and team leaders always know the current status quo via the task path marked in a Gantt chart. To this end, the context-sensitive user interface offers the option of organizing and linking tasks in a targeted manner and creating corresponding timelines.

Real-time communication

The integration of Skype for Business as well as instant messaging enables real-time communication, making team collaboration even more efficient. By activating them directly in a project plan, all project resources are now consolidated in a single view.

What else is new in MS Project Professional 2019 - Key features

Project 2019 also visually shows a difference from the previous version: through the attractive new, clearer desktop display interface. Behind this are various optimizations of existing functions as well as some new features that support users in particular through new, customizable reports for visualizing project data, improved team communication with the integrated Lync functions as well as easier tracking of in Gantt charts, the current Standard view for new projects in MS Project Professional 2019 in the visualization of tasks and their relationships as well as the schedule.

Quickly get started with new projects

Project creation with just a few clicks: Project 2019 offers a portfolio of predefined templates for this purpose, and it is also possible to start with a blank Gantt chart; data can also be imported from Excel or via SharePoint for this purpose. For the visualization of project data in the form of reports, a new template set of typical reports is available directly in Project 2019, which can be supplemented with images and diagrams, but also animations, to share information about the project status with other members in the team.

Notably, in MS Project Professional 2019, standard burndown reports are also available, which are an important part of Agile project management, especially Scrum, to compare planned, remaining as well as completed work.

Linking tasks using the drop-down menu

Linking tasks in MS Project Professional 2019 is now even easier than in the previous version: Instead of having to know the ID of a task to which the link is to be created, it is now sufficient to select the relevant cell in the "Predecessor" column and then click on the downward-pointing arrow that appears here. A list of all the tasks in this project will be displayed immediately. Since both the task hierarchy and the order correspond exactly to the project, users only need to scroll to the appropriate task and then select the corresponding check box. An activity of the same type can also be selected in the "Successor" column using the drop-down list displayed.

Using the "Collective operation name" field

In order to find a specific task in a larger list in the overall plan of a project, the "Collective task name" field can be used in MS Project Professional 2019. This contains the names of all collective tasks that are assigned to the individual tasks. To improve the clarity of the project structure by displaying the names of the immediate collection activities associated with each assignment of a resource, the read-only "Collection Activity Name" field can be added to the table area of the Resource: Usage view.

Timeline bars with labels and task progress indication

MS Project Professional 2019 makes it even easier to communicate the progress of a project: A label can now be added to a timeline bar, making it easier to understand. Task progress can also now be displayed directly on the respective tasks, which improves the display of plans as well as the tasks being worked on at the current time once a status has been released.

Accessibility in Project 2019

In addition, (not only) Project 2019 Professional Edition includes further accessibility optimizations for users with a handicap. Numerous accessibility features are already integrated into Project 2019 and do not need to be activated separately. For example, the "Zoom" button can be used to adjust the degree of scaling in the bar display so that the bars are displayed with an enlarged time window. The buttons on the ribbon can also be enlarged so that they are easier to see. As an alternative to "Zoom", the "Screen Magnifier" can also be used. Likewise, the text color can be customized and a custom color palette can be created, as well as the font type and size can be changed.

Basic functions in MS Project 2019 can also be accessed via the keyboard. Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) is used as an input aid for the keyboard to display information. In addition, certain areas in MS Project 2019 Professional can also be controlled via Windows Speech Recognition or read aloud via speech output.

The spell checker automatically corrects typical spelling and typing errors, and various entries in a column can also be auto-completed. Frequently used, complex processes can be automated via a macro, which generally speeds up work on a project.
