Project 2007 helps you effectively track and analyze projects with a better understanding of the schedule and impact of changes, while also allowing you to benefit from better financial control and richer analytics. This application now offers the ability to quickly determine factors that are affecting task dates and easily trace the source of issues. Specifically, improved Task Drivers help you determine the factor (such as task dependency, calendar constraints, schedule date, or vacation time) driving the start date of the task, so you can follow a chain of factors back to find the root cause of a particular delay. Project 2007 also automatically highlights all items that shift as a result of the most recent change you make. You can even undo actions or sets of actions from macros, and that allows you to test several "what-if" scenarios in order to fully understand the implications of each choice while making scope alterations. Effectively Communicate and Present Project Information
Project Standard 2007 offers scheduling power and enhanced capabilities that can help improve the organization of your projects. Easily report and communicate information in various formats according to the needs of stakeholders. New leverage charts and diagrams will capture attention, thanks to the Visual Reports feature, which uses Excel and Visio Professional to produce PivotTable views, charts, graphs, and diagrams based on Project data. You can also enjoy the option of changing the background color of a cell or row with Background Cell Highlighting. Shade cells, similar to how you can in Excel, in order to convey additional meaning. In addition, any user can easily define custom report templates and share these with other Project users. 
Background Cell Highlighting. View larger. | Flexible Project Tracking
Project 2007 delivers flexible project tracking and analysis by helping you to compute and track core metrics unique to your project by defining custom fields based on your formulas. And to help keep you on track, graphical indicators can alert you when specific conditions are met. Improved Views and Sharing
With new enhancements to the Calendar interface and the addition of 3-D Gantt bars, Project 2007 lets you create even more visually effective reports. When it's time to share them, use Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services workspaces (requires Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or later), which are integrated into the Tasks pane of the Project Guide, a step-by-step, interactive aid that helps you set up projects, manage tasks and resources, track status, and report project information. This helps you better organize work and people to help ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget. Easily Control Finances
Project 2007 features a budget field that lets you assign budgets to projects and programs. The new "Cost" resource type improves cost estimation and tracking, thanks to enhancements like more predefined fields, such as cost code, that map to financial fields tracked in project accounting systems. For all these same features plus a Client Access License (CAL), which enables connection to Office Project Server 2007 and thus provides additional collaborative enterprise project management capabilities, take a look at Office Project Professional 2007.

 Can't seem to get the vendor to send it to me July 21, 2010

If you will notice the date of this review (July 21, 10) and the date that I placed my order (June 15, 10) you will see that it has been almost a month and I still do not have the product I ordered, the substitution that the vendor suggested or a credit to my account.
I can't comment on the product since I have never gotten it. I can say that I will never buy from Express 24/7 again. I am still trying to get a credit for the almost $300.00 that I paid for this.
 Works pretty well July 10, 2009
Chris Fredricks (Joplin MO)
It does what it is supposed to, kinda. We purchased 5 seats of 2007 server but dont use it because it crashes MS CRM server. So we bought stand alone to get by until IT solves the issue. Several work arounds are required if you want to create resource templates for use in multiple projects using the stand alone software. All the really good features are in the server version. And still not sure of the design intent that allows you to over allocate a resource. Its always been my opinion that it shouldnt let you do that but yet it does.
Way Better Than Its Predecessors June 22, 2009

I remember struggling with MS Project in the 1990s... it was hopelessly obtuse, labor intensive, hard to understand, etc.
This 2007 version is actually usable and takes most of the pain out of creating a project schedule with multiple complexities. Good job, Microsoft.
The program still needs more integration with other c.2007 MS products, and it need to improve on its Excel-like user interface -- which really doesn't work very well for project management.
But all that said, this product is capable of productive use within 24 hours of installation without any prior experience.
I do recommend that new users buy a good instructional book to go with it, tho, just for reference. The book I got was "Microsoft Project 2007: The missing Manual" by Bonnie Biafore; Pogue Press/O'Reilly. Helpful right off the bat.
Wish I'd had this version in 1997.
MS Project Purchase December 22, 2008

This was my first software purchase on Amazon. Because the product was $100 less than I'd seen on the Microsoft website and in retail stores, I was nervous that the product was not new or would not come with a "key" or some other issue. I was delighted to receive a completely new software package just as if I bought it retail.
Unable to install October 20, 2008

I could not even install MS Project. I keep getting some cryptic error message box informing me that MS Project 2007 is not compatible with Office 2007. Never mind that I don't even have Office 2007 installed. Actually, I SHOULD know better. Even if they are FREE, Microsoft garbage/bloatware is seldom worth the trouble--move on.
