Introduction

Microsoft Project 2002 offers major feature additions and enhancements over its predecessors. Since the release of Microsoft Project 2000, Microsoft has performed extensive research and development, collecting feedback from current users, and identifying the needs of knowledge workers in general and expert project managers new to the product. The resulting improvements focus on two areas: making Microsoft Project easier to use and addressing the project management requirements of large organizations.

As part of the upgrade, Microsoft has introduced new additions to the Microsoft Project family. These products give you the flexibility to purchase and install the Microsoft Project products that are best suited to your organization. The new Microsoft Project 2002 product lineup is:

  • Microsoft Project Professional 2002 is a new product designed specifically to meet the needs of organizations that require enterprise project management functionality. Microsoft Project Professional combines the functionality of Microsoft Project Standard with enterprise project management features.

  • Microsoft Project Standard is the new version of the Microsoft Office project management solution designed for single users and small workgroups. Microsoft Project Standard builds on the features of Microsoft Project 2000, adding enhancements that contribute to ease of use and provide better integration with Microsoft Office applications.

  • Microsoft Project Server was originally introduced with Microsoft Project 2000 as the server component for the Web-based collaboration tool, Microsoft Project Central. With the release of Microsoft Project 2002, Microsoft Project Server will be sold as a separate product and no longer bundled with the desktop products. The latest version of Microsoft Project Server includes many new features, such as enhanced security and integration with SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, which allows you to organize, store, share, and track project-related information including documents and issues in a secure, central location.

The Microsoft Project 2002 Training Courseware was written to assist you with planning, deploying, implementing, training, and building customized applications.
