Important: Microsoft Project is not included in any Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription at any tier. It must always be purchased separately. This product is for Windows PC only — not compatible with macOS, Android, or Chromebook.
Project Standard is a perpetual license, and once activated, it will not expire. It is the entry-level perpetual edition of Microsoft Project designed for individual project managers who work on standalone projects and do not need the team-focused resource pooling, Project Online connectivity, or Agile Board features exclusive to the Professional edition. It covers the complete project scheduling and tracking workflow that the vast majority of project managers use every day, in a stable, offline desktop application that works without a browser or internet connection after activation.
Gantt Chart Scheduling The visual backbone of professional project management. Project 2024 Standard’s Gantt chart lets you build detailed project timelines with drag-and-drop task creation, automatic scheduling based on task dependencies, and task path highlighting that shows exactly how each task relates to every other task in your plan. Color-coded progress bars, milestone markers, and deadline indicators give you an instant, accurate picture of where your project stands at any moment. When tasks slip or timelines change, the Gantt chart updates automatically — keeping your plan accurate without manual adjustment.
Task Management and Automated Scheduling Create tasks, assign durations, set start and finish dates, and define dependencies between tasks using finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish relationships with lead and lag times. Project 2024 Standard’s automated scheduling engine respects all dependency logic and scheduling constraints when it calculates your project timeline ensuring your plan is always internally consistent and logically sound. Manual scheduling mode is also available for tasks where you want to control dates directly without automatic recalculation.
Critical Path Analysis Identify the exact chain of dependent tasks that determines the minimum time needed to complete your project. Project 2024 Standard automatically calculates and highlights the critical path — any delay to a task on this path directly extends the project end date. This lets you focus attention and resources on the tasks that matter most for on-time delivery, and quickly model the impact of timeline changes before committing to them.
Built-in Reports Save time with pre-designed reports like Burndown and Resource Overview. Monitor project progress and adjust as necessary. The full report library includes Project Overview dashboards, Cost Overview for budget tracking, Work Overview for resource utilization, and Milestone reports for executive status updates. All reports are customizable and can be exported to PDF or copied into PowerPoint presentations for stakeholder communication. Microsoft
Kanban Board View Project 2024 features enhanced task lists, Kanban boards, project roadmaps, and Gantt charts to help you prioritize and schedule tasks efficiently. Switch to the Board view for a visual Kanban-style layout where tasks are displayed as cards in columns representing their current status. Drag cards between columns to update task status. For project managers who work in environments that blend traditional scheduling with lightweight Agile-style task tracking, the Board view provides the visual workflow management that modern teams expect — without requiring a separate tool. Microsoft
Timeline View Create shareable visual summaries of your project schedule that can be copied directly into emails, PowerPoint slides, and Word documents. The Timeline view displays your high-level milestones, phases, and key dates in a clean, executive-friendly visual format. For project managers who regularly present project status to stakeholders who do not have Project installed, the Timeline view delivers the right level of summary detail in a format that anyone can understand immediately.
Custom Calendars Share custom calendars for specific tasks with your team to ensure everyone stays informed. Define working hours, non-working days, holidays, and shift schedules at the project, resource, and task level. Project 2024 Standard uses your calendar definitions when calculating task durations and scheduling work ensuring that your plan accurately reflects when work can actually happen, not just theoretical elapsed time. Microsoft
Baseline Tracking Set a project baseline at kickoff capturing your original planned schedule, costs, and scope and then compare actual progress against it throughout delivery. Baseline tracking gives you objective data on schedule slippage and cost variance, making it straightforward to communicate project health honestly to stakeholders and identify where corrective action is needed.
Built-In Templates Pre-built templates help you get your project started on the right track. Project 2024 Standard includes a library of project templates covering common project types software development, construction, product launch, event planning, and more that provide a ready-made task structure you can customize for your specific project. Starting from a template rather than a blank project saves hours of initial setup time on every new engagement.
Advanced Scheduling Tools Maximize productivity by minimizing inefficiencies with automated scheduling features. Deadline markers, task constraints, effort-driven scheduling, and task splitting give you precise control over how work is planned and distributed across your project timeline. The scheduling engine handles the complex arithmetic of dependency chains and constraint logic automatically you define the rules, Project calculates the schedule.
Microsoft Teams Compatibility Hover over team members’ names in a project plan to see online presence and start chats or calls through Microsoft Teams for Business. For organizations using Microsoft 365 with Teams, this integration means you can communicate with team members about specific tasks directly from within your project plan — without switching applications.
Microsoft Project 2024 Standard is the right tool for individual project managers and professionals who need a permanent, professional-grade project management desktop application for standalone projects — and who do not need the advanced team features exclusive to the Professional edition. It is the correct choice for:
Individual project managers at small and medium businesses who manage projects independently and need a capable, permanent scheduling tool without paying a Project Plan subscription fee every month.
Consultants and freelance project managers who manage client projects on a per-engagement basis and want a permanently owned desktop tool they can use across any engagement without subscription cost.
Operations managers, event planners, marketing managers, and business professionals who manage projects as part of a broader role and need more structure and capability than a task list or spreadsheet provides but do not need the full enterprise feature set of Project Professional.
IT professionals and administrators managing infrastructure deployment projects, system migration timelines, and technical project schedules who need the discipline of formal project scheduling without enterprise-scale resource management.
Students and professionals studying for PMP certification or other project management credentials who want hands-on experience with the industry-standard project management tool using a permanently owned licence.
This is the most important question buyers in the USA and Canada ask before purchasing. Here is a precise, direct answer.
Project 2024 Standard includes: Gantt chart scheduling, critical path analysis, task management, automated scheduling, Kanban Board view, Timeline view, baseline tracking, built-in reports, custom calendars, and built-in templates. It is fully capable for managing individual projects of any size and complexity.
Project 2024 Professional includes additional features like resource management, collaboration, and server integration. Specifically, Professional adds: resource pooling across multiple concurrent projects, team member collaboration features for assigning tasks to named resources and tracking individual workload, Project Online and Project Server connectivity for enterprise portfolio management, and the full Agile Board view with Scrum support including sprint planning and backlog management.
Choose Standard if you manage projects individually, do not share resources across multiple concurrent projects managed by different project managers, and do not need to connect to Project Online or a Project Server environment. Choose Professional if any of those enterprise-scale capabilities apply to your situation. Both are available on MMKeys as one-time lifetime purchases.
Project Plan 3 always gives you the latest version of Project. Project Professional is a perpetual license, and once activated, it will not expire. Project Plan 3 requires an active subscription.
Project Plan 3 costs $30 per user per month that is $360 per year, $1,800 over five years and gives you browser-based and desktop access with the latest features always updated automatically. Project 2024 Standard from MMKeys is a one-time purchase that you own permanently, works fully offline, and receives Microsoft security updates through October 2029. For individual project managers who do not need the cloud portfolio management features of Project Plan 3, the perpetual licence delivers significantly better long-term value.
