Hi,

as you already know Microsoft ha published new Office 2013 –Preview,  and here is the new Microsoft Project 2013 preview.

Let us look what is new! Remember that that is just a Preview, not the final version! I will write about what I see!

There are huge improvements in this new Version, and I love it already. Frankly I do not love everything, and I will write about that as well!

When you open MS PROJCET 2010 you get something like this:

As you can see, you have open brand new Project with default View – Gantt Chart.

Notice TABS! They are in Upper-Lower case!

When you open MS PROJECT 2013 (I will not write MS PROJECT 2013-preview any more, because you know that this is only a Preview), you get this:

You can choose to open a brand new Blank Project, New from existing Project, and New From SharePoint Task…!

And you have a lot of Templates, so I will open Software Development Plan Template, and I will get:

and I will get:

My first impression is WOW!

You can see that Timeline is much more Readable, and there are a lot of new stuff here (like Work Burndown – do you speak Agile??? ) 

I will cover these features in my next Posts!

I will open a Blank Project now:

Tabs are in UPER CASE, I do not like it! Contrast is low, and I don’t like it either!

I want to exit my MS PROJECT 2013 now:

What is missing??? I will show you the MS PROJECT 2010:

Yes, the Exit button is GONE! In is gone from all OFFICE 2013 family, except Outlook!

But if you hit X letter when you are on the backstage window in MS PROJECT 2013, you will exit! Of course you can exit if you click here, as well:

If you insist on Exit Button, there is a way to have it on Quick Access Toolbar:

and:

and:

and I will get:

and Finally:

So I have now my beloved Exit Button.

Do you like it????

P.S. Guess what! I am going to Vacation! Why should you care? You should not! I am telling you that because from now till end of August I will post one Blog Post per week.

Please, please, DO NOT CRY

Regards!
