Jul 1, 2016
  • More flexible timelines:
  • With Project 2016, not only can you leverage multiple timelines to illustrate different phases or categories of work, but you can also set the start and end dates for each timeline separately, to paint a clearer overall picture of the work involved.
  • Better control over resource scheduling:
  • Some resources have limited availability, and may have their time scheduled by a resource manager. With Project Professional 2016 and Project Online, project managers and resource managers can negotiate an agreement, called a resource engagement, to make sure that resources are being used appropriately and effectively throughout your organization.
  • Do things quickly with Tell Me:
  • You'll notice a text box on the ribbon in Project 2016 that says Tell me what you want to do. This is a text field where you can enter words and phrases related to what you want to do next and quickly get to features you want to use or actions you want to perform. You can also choose to get help related to what you're looking for
  • New themes for Project:
  • There are now three Office themes that you can apply to Project 2016: Colorful, Dark Gray, and White. To access these themes, go to File > Options > General, and then click the drop down menu next to Office Theme.

  • Better experiences:
  • The Ribbon makes finding and using your favorite tools simpler with new graphical menus and a familiar experience so you can create and manage projects easily. In the new Microsoft Office Backstage TM view – save, share, print and publish your projects with just one click.
  • Simply more productive:
  • Like other Microsoft Office applications, save time and effort with familiar and essential functions like text wrapping, filtering, auto-complete, scroll and zoom and more. Insert new columns on the fly – data types are readily identified so you can quickly organize and analyze details effectively.
  • Flexible and powerful:
  • Bringing together the flexibility and ease of a tool like Microsoft Excel 2010 with the power of the Project Professional 2010 scheduling engine, user-controlled scheduling puts you in control.
  • Easier to see and share:
  • With a completely new and visually enhanced timeline view, you’ll have a clearer view of tasks, milestones, and phases. Newly expanded color palettes and text effects help you make every timeline and plan looks its best – to swiftly see and share important dates and deliverables.
  • At-a-glance resource management:
  • See the right mix of people and resources – simply drag and drop to effectively plan tasks for your entire team and project.
  • Connected teams:
  • Connect your teams with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 synchronization or add Microsoft Project Server 2010 with Project Professional 2010 to realize the results of unified project and portfolio management.
