MS Project 2016 functions at a glance

With Microsoft MS Project 2016, projects of all types and sizes can be efficiently planned, implemented and followed up. It supports project managers in the planning, control, access management and monitoring of individual project steps and complex projects and enables efficient resource planning, automated reporting and active risk management.

MS Office Project 2016 is installed locally as a desktop tool or on a server and offers numerous integrated templates, Gantt charts, flexible timelines and a large selection of immediately usable reports for project-related reporting. For this purpose, projects are broken down into individual tasks to which time, personnel and other resources can be assigned. An integrated calendar ensures transparency, for example with regard to attendance and absence times of project members or external resources. Mutual dependencies of activities, milestones and other relevant aspects of project planning can be inserted, changed or deleted at the click of a mouse - and displayed in various views or distributed in the form of reports on paper or as a digital document at the touch of a button.

In a direct comparison of the professional editions of MS Project 2013 vs. 2016, the new version offers "what-if" analyses and multiple timelines, simplified synchronization with SharePoint and an intelligent search for commands and functions.

A complete list of all functions can be found in the MS Project 2016 manual or on the Internet. The MS Project 2016 manual is available free of charge as a pdf from Microsoft.

Even if the MS Project 2016 download is free of charge, you must purchase and own a valid license for the permanent legal use of the software. At Soft & Cloud, you can find used licenses for Microsoft Project 2016 Standard and Microsoft Project Professional, which allow you to use the software legally on a permanent basis after the download.

What is the difference between a used MS Project license and the purchase of a new license?

Since software and licenses neither age nor wear out over the course of use, a used license for MS Project 2016 differs from a new license in only one aspect: the price. With Soft & Cloud, the price is up to 70 % lower than the retail price for which Microsoft offers a new license for this software. There are no other differences, for example in terms of functionality, duration of use or your rights as a buyer vis-à-vis Microsoft. At Soft & Cloud, we only offer legally acquired original licenses from trustworthy sources. We also rely on a TÜVIT-certified process for the legally compliant transfer of licenses and therefore meet all legal requirements.
