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

In manual scheduling, MS Project 2010 introduces a particular change. One of these changes, for example, is a modification to factors such as link types (= a relationship between two linked tasks. Linked by a relationship between their finish and start dates).

Furthermore, this Project version, as already mentioned above, includes a new set of calendars (the base calendar + the task calendar + the resource calendar + the project calendar).

In summary, you can now better manage the following features:

• Integration of existing data (Word documents).
• Better visualization options through an expanded range of functions
• Relate tasks and resources to one another
• Automatic warning system whenever a temporal or resource-related conflict occurs
