Microsoft Project 2019 Professional features

Microsoft Project 2019 Professional is a full-featured project management tool built around the familiar Gantt chart interface, extended with resource management, reporting, and server connectivity capabilities that make it suitable for both individual project managers and teams working across shared infrastructure.

Core capabilities include:

• Gantt charts and timeline view – visualize project schedules with multiple timeline bars, timeline bar labels, and task progress indicators added directly to the timeline
• Task linking via dropdown – link tasks to predecessors using a dropdown menu rather than manually entering task IDs, reducing setup errors on complex projects
• Task Summary Name field – displays the name of a task’s summary task in any view, making it easier to understand task context across large projects
• Resource Engagements – formally request, negotiate, and lock resources across projects to prevent overbooking across your team
• Resource Capacity Heat Maps – visual overview of resource utilization showing where team members are over or under-allocated at a glance
• Critical path analysis – automatically identifies tasks that directly affect the project completion date
• Baseline tracking – compare planned vs actual progress at any point in the project lifecycle
• Budget and cost tracking – monitor project financials against planned budgets across tasks and resources
• Built-in reports – dashboard-style visual reports for stakeholder communication without needing external tools
• Project Server and SharePoint connectivity – connect to on-premises Project Server and SharePoint environments for team collaboration
• Accessibility improvements – enhanced Windows Narrator support, improved contrast, and better keyboard navigation throughout the application
