Project's Agile features are quickly evolving with every release. Project's versions are also quickly evolving. We can surmise that Microsoft is being agile in releasing its Agile features. In this scenario, Agile features are currently only available for the Project Online Desktop Client. Even with all these changes, what we'll cover in this chapter will be applicable both at a conceptual level and the practical level to earlier versions of Project, such as Project 2016 and 2013 Professional Desktop version, where similar Agile features were available.
