Quick reference

While you can purchase Microsoft Project 2013, 2016 or 2019, there is another option and that is Project Online. With Project Online you receive a version of the Project desktop that has a similar user interface. Project Online is a software-as-a-service model, so you essentially rent the product by the month or enter into a yearly contract. Project Online is part of the Office 365 family of products.

With Project Online desktop, new features can be added by Microsoft at any given time and those features may never make it into updates for Project 2019 (or earlier).

Of significant note with this training course is the ability to manage you project using agile techniques. 

Steps

  • Continue watching the rest of the training videos to learn more about how to access agile functionality using Project Online desktop.
