What is Microsoft Project Server 2019?

Microsoft Project Server is a server for managing your projects, even if they’re large scale. The initial release on Windows was in 2000, under the name “Project Central”. The foundation for this software was Microsoft SharePoint, used for sharing and managing files between an organization

Microsoft Project is the perfect solution for teams who work with dynamic project environments and complex scenarios. Regardless of the size of your projects, Project Server 2019 will certainly improve your management and workflow. It supports the interface from Microsoft Project Professional edition, giving you familiar user experience. It works as a client application, but you can use it by web browser connection to the Project Web App (PWA) component. This Project Web App component extends the already existing capabilities of Microsoft Project.

Microsoft Project Server 2019 is suitable for those who prefer on-premises software over Cloud-based ones. It provides enhancements and updates to already existing features, but also adds a number of new things. Allow your company or organization to take advantage of modern Enterprise Project Management on local servers at an affordable cost.

Microsoft Project Server keeps the information from your projects in a central SQL Server database, which is secure from unauthorized access or corruption. Only someone with Project Administrator rights can control access rights of users and manage security, which allows for great teamwork and management over projects.

Project Web App changes and improvements

A couple of big changes have been made to the Project Web App that affects users. In addition to performance and accessibility improvements, several other changes were made to make the experience of both administrators and team members. This includes team task enhancements, timephased reporting data, and the option to receive email notifications.

Get a cleaner view

It’s important that you always get a clean, understandable view of your project. This allows you to gain critical insight, see where things are heading and plan your next move. The new, more manageable visual time plans include a begin and end date, which are now able to be arranged thanks to the added labels for multi-row timelines. 

Improved reporting

Project Server 2019 promises improved reporting settings which would serve to cut down on the volume of data that is to be transferred. All of this translates into faster and more accurate OData reports.

Greater flexibility and customization

Flexibility is a key aspect of project management. This is why Project Server 2019 features enhanced flexibility and more customization options to the design process.

Faster searching with unique project IDs

Thanks to the introduction of Individual Project IDs, users can enjoy faster and more accurate search results. Unique project IDs guarantee that users will spend less time waiting and reduces downtime from maintenance, especially if the larger database is being searched. This feature allows users to refer to a project independent of the project name, which might be modified later on as the project grows and changes.

Automatically matched installation languages

The base language of Project Server 2019 is automatically matched to your language, sparing you from having to select it and wait additional time for a language pack to install. Jump right into using and understanding your server by taking advantage of this quality of life feature.

Note: There's one special case in which the base installation language doesn't match, which is the Thai language. As of the time of writing, individual language packs aren’t supported in Project Server 2019 to combat this.

Alternate language packs

At the time of writing, Microsoft doesn't support individual language packs for Project Server 2019. Instead, an alternate language is provided for all available languages in SharePoint Server 2019.

For example, while Basque is not an available language, you're provided with the option to choose Spanish as an alternative. The following list contains all supported alternative languages:

• • Basque → Spanish
• • Catalan → Spanish
• • Galician → Spanish
• • Kazakh → Russian

All other languages which aren’t natively supported automatically get changed to English. For more information on supported languages, please visit Microsoft’s Supported languages for Project Online page.

Better long-term support

Enhanced support from Microsoft ensures that Project Server 2019 promises better barrier freedom and greater optimization for the Project Web app even in the distant future. Mainstream support for both Project Server 2010 and Project Server 2013 has been expired for several years now, and Project Server 2016’s support will be cut in July 2021. Make the upgrade now and gain immediate access to long-term support from Microsoft.

Upgrading to Project Server 2019

When deciding to upgrade to Project Server 2019, you should take note of the fact that an upgrade is only possible through Project Server 2016. This means that if you decide to upgrade from an earlier version of Project Server, you're required to upgrade to Project Server 2016 first in order to be able to utilize Project Server 2019.

There is currently no direct route between Project Server 2013 to Project Server 2019. The upgrade process is through the use of PowerShell “cmdlets”. The SharePoint 2016 content database that holds your Project Web App site collection must be upgraded as well during this process. You can, however, migrate your Project Server 2016 Resource Plans to Resource Engagements in Project Server 2019.
