A hallmark of MS Project 2010 Standard is the very easy-to-use user interface. It will make your everyday life significantly easier from now on, because with the help of the scheduler you gain a better overview of all the important things of the day. The system is more than easy to operate, because a clear structure is visible. It is created by the new ribbon. There is also the option to insert previously created lists from Excel or Word into Project without having to reformat them in advance.

There is a particular change in manual scheduling in MS Project 2010. One of these changes is, for example, the modification of factors such as ordering relationships (= a relationship between two linked tasks. Linked by a relationship between their finish and start dates).

In addition, this Project version, as already mentioned above, includes a new project calendar (the base calendar + the task calendar + the resource calendar + the project calendar).

In summary, you can now better control the following functions:

• Integration of existing data (Word documents).
• Better visualization options through an expanded feature set
• Relate tasks and resources to each other
• Automatic warning system as soon as there is a time- or resource-related conflict
