Microsoft Project Professional 2024 is built for managing projects from the initial plan through completion, with tools for organizing tasks, coordinating resources, monitoring progress, and creating reports. For a limited time, you can get the desktop application for $49.97 on one Windows PC, with the license lasting a lifetime.

Rather than building every project schedule from scratch, you can start with pre-built templates and customize them to fit your needs. Define tasks and dependencies, and Project can calculate start and finish dates based on how those tasks relate to one another.

The application also synchronizes with Project Online and Project Server. Microsoft Teams for Business integration allows users to check a team member's online presence and begin chats or calls from a project plan.

The licensing terms are specific: The lifetime license covers one PC and connects to that device rather than a Microsoft account. Lifetime access to Microsoft Project Professional 2024 is available for $49.97 through October 4.
