Discussion

Instead of starting a project from scratch, you can use a project template. A template provides a framework to use for creating certain project types. Microsoft Project includes a variety of project types, including residential and commercial construction, engineering, new business, and office moves, to help you start a project plan.

Use one of Project’s preformatted templates, or one that you created, using the links in the New screen Templates section. The template opens with a list of project tasks, assigned resources, and other information. Use the Project Information dialog box to specify a new start or finish date. Make changes to the existing project information, as well as add information. The File > New link opens the Templates screen, where you can select a locally installed template or online templates. The New from existing template allows you to open a copy of an existing project. The New from Excel workbook link allows you to open a copy of an existing Excel template. The New from SharePoint Tasks List link allows you to open a copy of an existing template from SharePoint.

Once you have used a template to create a project, Project adds the project to the Recent section to the File tab.
