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 2007.

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