Microsoft Project is project management software used to create schedules, allocate resources, track budgets, and manage timelines via tools like Gantt charts. Project managers in construction, IT, engineering, and other industries use it for detailed planning and tracking of complex, multi-task projects. It's more robust than lighter tools like Planner, and is available as a desktop application or cloud-based service (Project for the web).
