Microsoft Project Desktop is still a popular software!
If you are using any of these products, this book is for you:
- Microsoft Project Standard 2021 or 2024
- Microsoft Project Professional 2021 or 2024
- Microsoft Project Online Desktop Client (subscription version)
- Earlier versions (Microsoft Project 2010 through 2019) feature differences are summarized in Chapter 1
