Open the project you want to add a task and assign resources to. For more information about task details, refer to Use a screen reader to view and edit task details in Project. Your list of tasks can be as simple as a checklist of things that need to get done, or it can be somewhat more involved, with start and finish dates, relationships with other tasks, and other associated task information. One of the first steps to managing a project is to add the tasks that get your project done. Use the Left and Right arrow keys to find the start date, and press Enter to confirm it. To enter a start date for the project, press the Tab key until you hear 'Start,' followed by the current date, then press Enter to open the date picker. The project details pane opens with the focus on the project name field. Press the Tab key until you hear 'Untitled project,' and press Enter. The Grid view of the new project is opened. To create a project, in Project Home, press the Tab key until you hear 'Press Enter to create a project,' and then press Enter. To open Project for the web, press the Tab key until you hear вЂњProject link,вЂќ and then press Enter. In your web browser, go to or and sign in to your Microsoft 365 account. Also, common shortcuts like F1 (Help) and Ctrl+O (Open) apply to the web browser вЂ“ not Project for the web. For example, youвЂ™ll use Ctrl+F6 instead of F6 for jumping in and out of the commands. Because Project for the web runs in your web browser, the keyboard shortcuts are different from those in the desktop program. When you use Project for the web, we recommend that you use Microsoft Edge as your web browser. Your screen reader announces the resource name, task name, and the start and finish dates you just selected. Press T to set today as the finish date, or use the arrow keys to find the right date. Press the Tab key until you hear 'Finish, editable, edit,' and then press Alt+Down arrow key to open the date picker. Press T to set today as the start date, or use the arrow keys to find the right date. Press the Tab key until you hear 'Start, editable, edit,' and then press Alt+Down arrow key to open the date picker. Press Shift+F2 to open the Task Information window for the currently selected task.

You hear the task's name, followed by 'Unscheduled task.' If the resource has several tasks assigned to it, use the Right and Left arrow keys to navigate between them. Press the Right arrow key to move to the tasks assigned to the currently selected resource. You can use the Down and Up arrow keys to navigate between the resources. Press the Down arrow key to hear the name of the first resource. To change into the Team Planner view, press Alt+H, G, and then press P. Note:В JAWS does not announce resource or task names properly in the Team Planner view, so you should use Narrator to schedule the tasks. Press the Right arrow key until you hear вЂњColumn header, Resource Names,вЂќ and then type the name of the resource who you want to handle this task. Press the Right arrow key until you hear вЂњColumn header, Task Name, selected,вЂќ and then type the name of your first task. When you open a blank project, the focus is in the top left corner of the chart.

Your new project opens in the Gantt Chart view, which is the simplest view to work in.

It opens to a list of recently used projects and project templates. Type the first few letters of Project, until you hear вЂњProject, desktop app.вЂќ Starting a new project in Project is simple.
