3.1 How Microsoft Project 2019 Handles Data
Microsoft Project 2019 is a powerful tool that allows you to plan, track, analyze, and report on the progress of one or many related projects. In the process of doing so, however, an enormous amount of data is generated. To avoid overwhelming the user, Microsoft Project uses a clever data management approach that simplifies the project manager’s job.
A project consists of activities that have a distinct beginning and end (known as tasks) and the people, equipment, and supplies used to complete those activities (known as resources).
Microsoft Project’s data categories
Microsoft Project also saves modified objects with the Microsoft Project plan.

We mentioned earlier that project managers have to manage time, cost, and scope. Microsoft Project creates hidden storage areas that contain the necessary data. The Tasks area (above) contains details about each task—how long it should be (duration) and its relationship to any other tasks (dependencies). This is organized in a database format, with each row representing an individual task and each column a field associated with that task, as creating a task generates a large number of related fields. The Resources area contains details about each resource, including how much it costs to use that resource and availability data, such as how much time each person can devote to project work each day.
In theory, one could create a project schedule from the scope-related information (duration and dependency) for each task, but clearly resource availability affects when a task can be done. For that reason, connecting a task with a resource generates a resource assignment stored in the Assignment area. This combined information is used by Microsoft Project to create the actual schedule.
In addition to Tasks, Resources, and Assignments, there will be higher-level data related to the project itself, rather than its detailed components. Examples might include the geographic location of the project, the business unit that owns or requested the project, or the name of the project manager. The Project area gives us a place to store that type of data and is especially important for published projects, as we will see later.
Microsoft Project 2019 provides many different ways to enter, view, and report information about the tasks, resources, and resource assignments in a project. As with all Microsoft applications, these can be menu-driven or controlled by icons on toolbars.

3.5 Finding the Right Information
The trick to using Microsoft Project effectively is first to know what type of information you are looking for and then to know which view you can use to display this information. A view is a set of formatting instructions that tells Microsoft Project what data to present and how to organize it into a useful format so that each view displays a unique combination of project information. Once you are in the correct view, you can modify the display to view the exact information you require, as described later.
Views in Microsoft Project 2019 can be categorized into sheet views, chart and graph views, and form views. Each of the available views will provide different presentations of project information. Unfortunately, with 27 different views to choose from, simply deciding which one to use can be a challenge.
For example, the default Gantt Chart view includes a calendar bar chart on the right side of the screen and a table of data on the left side. A table is a set of formatting instructions that specifies which fields from the data storage area should appear on the screen. The default Entry Table, for example, contains ID (the task numbers), Name (titled Task Name), Duration, Start, Finish, Predecessors, and Resource Names (who is assigned to the task).
The decision tree in the next section is intended to help guide you to the six most useful views in Microsoft Project. Microsoft Project 2019 does help by automatically opening certain views for you (e.g., custom tracking views when you set up the tracking method to be used for the project), but remembering these six views will save you valuable time.
For task information, the Gantt Chart (with and without a split window) is generally most useful. For resource information, the Resource Sheet (with and without a split window) is best. For assignment information, the Task Usage and Resource Usage views are the best starting points.
Selecting a View
- If you require task-based information, next decide if you are interested in information with or without resource assignments.
If the information you require is task-based, without resource assignments, the Gantt Chart should meet your needs (see Note 1 for additional detail).
If the information you require is task-based, with resource assignments spread over time, the Task Usage view should meet your needs (see Note 2 for additional detail).
If the information you require is task-based, with resource assignments not spread over time, the Gantt Chart with details in the lower pane (split window) should meet your needs (see Note 3 for additional detail).
- If you require resource-based information, next decide if you are interested in information with or without task assignments.
If the information you require is resource-based, without task assignments, the Resource Sheet should meet your needs (see Note 1 for additional detail).
If the information you require is resource-based, with task assignments spread over time, the Resource Usage view should meet your needs (see Note 2 for additional detail).
If the information you require is resource-based, with task assignments not spread over time, the Resource Sheet with details in the lower pane (split window) should meet your needs (see Note 3 for additional detail).
- If you are not seeing the information you want on the left side of the divider of the Gantt Chart view
Apply a table that contains the columns (or fields) you wish to view.
Add columns to the existing table.
Add columns to the existing table and then apply the table.
Create a new table that contains the columns (or fields) you wish to view.
- If you are not seeing the columns you want on the left side of the divider on the (Task or Resource) Usage View, you can do one or more of the following:
Apply a table that contains the columns (or fields) you wish to view.
Add columns to the existing table.
Add columns to the existing table and then apply the table.
Create a new table that contains the columns (or fields) you wish to view.
- The grid on the right side of the (Task or Resource) Usage view contains timephased information—work details broken down on a day-by-day basis (this time phasing can be modified). If you are not seeing the columns you want to see on the right side of the divider on the Usage view
To change the timescale, in the View:Zoom section of the ribbon, use the Zoom dropdown arrow to Zoom in/Zoom out.
To see a short list of display options for this grid, right-click anywhere in the grid area. When you do so, you will see the following list.

From Task:Editing, click the Scroll to Task icon.
Zoom in/Zoom out.
In the Format:Zoom section of the ribbon, adjust the timescale.
- In the lower pane, if you are not seeing the fields you want to see
Right-click in the lower pane and select Predecessors & Successors, Resources & Predecessors, Resources & Successors, Schedule, Work, Cost, Notes, and/or Objects, as appropriate.
From View: (Task or Resource) Views, use the Other Views dropdown list to select More Views and then choose the appropriate “form” view.
From View:Split View, use the Details dropdown list to select the appropriate view.
- If you are not seeing the columns you want on the upper pane of the Gantt Chart view
Apply a table that contains the columns (or fields) you wish to view.
Add columns to the existing table.
Add columns to the existing table and then apply the table.
Create a new table that contains the columns (or fields) you wish to view.
- If you are not seeing the fields you want to see on the lower pane
Right-click in the lower pane and select Schedule, Work, Cost, Notes, and/or Objects, as appropriate.
From View: (Task or Resource) Views, use the Other Views dropdown list to select More Views and then choose the appropriate “form” view.
From View:Split View, use the Details dropdown list to select the appropriate view.

How Microsoft Project 2019 Uses Data
Entering data in Microsoft Project 2019 is often just the first step. Behind the scenes, Microsoft Project works to use the data to provide meaningful information for the project manager. This exercise explores how this process works for one specific example.
This exercise uses the file Navigation.mpp. If this file is not already open, launch Microsoft Project 2019 without connecting to Project Server and open this project from the exercise directory before beginning.- 1.
By default you should be in the Gantt Chart view with the Task tab selected. Apply the Gantt Chart view if another view is displayed. From the Properties group, click Details to see the Gantt Chart/Task Details Form combination described earlier.
- 2.Right-click anywhere in the Task Details Form and select Cost from the menu that appears. In the upper half of the screen, select Define user requirements (Task ID 4) to view details about that task in the Task Form. Your screen will resemble the following.

- 4.
From the View group, select Resource Sheet to change the screen to display the Resource Sheet view to verify the hourly cost rate for each resource. Your screen will resemble the following.
Resource Sheet
- 5.
Click the Gantt Chart icon to return to the original split Gantt view by clicking the Details option in the Split view menu group. Click any task to see the resource cost for that task. Microsoft Project used the Std. Rate value times the number of hours (work) each resource is assigned to calculate these costs.
- 6.To see the total resource cost for the project, from View:Data, click the Tables icon, and from the dropdown list, select the Cost Table. Move the divider bar between the table and the calendar bar chart to the right until you see the Total Cost column heading. Your screen will resemble the following.
Figure 3-51Total resource cost for the project
Behind the scenes, Microsoft Project uses data you provide to calculate additional values that a project manager might want. This is a very useful feature, but it can be confusing to users who don’t realize what is happening, as we will see later.
