macro

A recorded or programmed set of instructions that carry out a specific action when initiated. Macros in Project use Visual Basic for Applications.

material resources

The consumables that are used up as a project progresses. As with work resources, you assign material resources to tasks. Unlike work resources, material resources have no effect on the total amount of work scheduled on a task.

maximum units

The maximum capacity (as entered in the Max. Units field) of a resource to accomplish tasks. If you allocate the resource beyond capacity, Project alerts you that the resource is overallocated.

Microsoft Office System Enterprise Project Management Solution

The set of tools and practices built upon Project Server and (optionally) Windows SharePoint Services.

milestone

A significant event that is reached within the project or imposed upon the project. In Project, milestones are normally represented as tasks with zero duration.
