Overview of Microsoft Project

Microsoft originally purchased the software from another company and released its own version in 1985. The most recent version of the software is Microsoft Project 2016.

Microsoft Project allows the project manager to enter the tasks of a project (also known as the “work breakdown structure” or WBS) and assign workers (known as “resources“) to those tasks, as well as cost information.

Microsoft Project also provides functionality that allows the user to create reports that communicate the status and progress of a project.
