What is Microsoft Project?
Microsoft Project is a suite of project management solutions, not a single product, spanning scheduling, resource allocation, financial tracking and portfolio management across genuinely different deployment models rather than one app with feature toggles. Project Standard 2024 is a one-time $679.99 purchase for on-premises core scheduling, task and cost management, aimed at individual project managers. Project Professional 2024 steps up to $1,129.99 one-time, adding comprehensive resource management and timesheets for professional teams.
Project Server Subscription Edition is the named enterprise tier, built on SharePoint Server for portfolio management and business intelligence at scale, priced only through partner consultation rather than a listed figure. Across all editions, Gantt charts, calendars, network diagrams, resource leveling, baselines, milestones, critical path analysis and earned value tracking are core capabilities. That three-tier, one-time-purchase-first structure (versus the subscription-only model most competitors use) is the direct reason organisations already committed to on-premises licensing evaluate Microsoft Project specifically.
