elcome to the world of computerized project management with 
Microsoft Project. If you’ve never used project management software, 

you’re entering a brave, new world. It’s like walking from the office of 25 
years ago — with no fax, voicemail, or e-mail — into the office of today with 
its wealth of high-tech devices.

Everything you used to do with handwritten to-do lists, word processors, and 
spreadsheets all magically comes together in Project. However, this transi-
tion won’t come in a moment, and you need a basic understanding of what 
project management software can do to get you up to speed. If you’ve used 
previous versions of Project, this little overview can help you refresh your 
memory as well as ease you into a few of the new features of Project 2010.

So, even if you’re a seasoned project manager, take a minute to review this 
chapter. It provides the foundation for how you’ll work with Project from 
here on.
