Microsoft Project is a project management software product,
developed and sold by Microsoft. It is designed to assist a project
manager in developing a schedule, assigning resources to
tasks, tracking progress, managing the budget, and analyzing workloads.
Microsoft Project was the company's third
Microsoft Windows-based application. Within a few years after its launch, it
became the dominant PC-based project management software.[3]
It is part of the Microsoft Office family
but has never been included in any of the Office suites. It is available
currently in two editions, Standard and Professional. Microsoft Project's proprietary
file format is .mpp.
Project creates budgets based
on assignment work and resource rates. As resources are assigned to tasks and
assignment work estimated, the program calculates the cost, equal to the work
times the rate, which rolls up to the task level and then to any summary tasks
and finally to the project level. Resource definitions (people, equipment and
materials) can be shared between projects using a shared resource pool. Each
resource can have its own calendar, which defines what days and shifts a
resource is available.
Resource rates are used to calculate resource assignment
costs which are rolled up and summarized at the resource level. Each resource
can be assigned to multiple tasks in multiple plans and each task can be
assigned multiple resources, and the application schedules task work based on
the resource availability as defined in the resource calendars. All resources
can be defined in label without limit. Therefore, it cannot determine how many
finished products can be produced with a given amount of raw materials.
This
makes Microsoft Project unsuitable for solving problems of available materials
constrained production. Additional software is necessary to manage a complex
facility that produces physical goods.

The application creates critical path schedules,
and critical chain and event chain methodology third-party
add-ons also are available. Schedules can be resource leveled, and chains
are visualized in a Gantt chart. Additionally, Microsoft Project can
recognize different classes of users. These different classes of users can have
differing access levels to projects, views, and other data. Custom objects such
as calendars, views, tables, filters, and fields are stored in an enterprise
global which is shared by all users.
