Description
Microsoft Project Professional 2021 is a one-time-purchase desktop project management tool for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It handles scheduling, resource allocation, cost tracking and reporting, with no subscription.
What is included in Project Professional 2021?
- Gantt charts and multiple timelines – plan tasks, dependencies and critical path
- Team Planner and resource levelling – see who is over-allocated and rebalance work
- Baselines and cost tracking – compare planned against actual progress
- Built-in reports – burndown, cost and resource overviews
- Project Server connectivity – sync with Project Server for team use
Who is this edition for?
Project 2021 is the sensible pick when the rest of your PC or office runs Office 2021 Professional Plus, because Project installs most reliably alongside the same Office generation. Project is a separate product and is not part of any Office suite.
Support status you should know before buying
