Hi everyone!

Thanks for all of your feedback and votes on this. We are planning to build custom fields so you can work with even more flexibility in your projects!

Feel free to continue to give feedback on how you would use custom fields, and what information you’d put in them.

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

As of right now, you’ll start seeing Project in EDU tenants in April. You can see more information about this in your O365 admin message center about the deployment.

Hi everyone!

We agree with you here! This is something we want to do — and we’ll keep you updated here on it.

Is there anything you don’t like about the capabilities? Where do you think it can be improved? Which features do you need most to be most successful from Planner that don’t exist in Project yet?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

We understand the need and ask for templates. We will be starting with a Copy Project feature, and continue to think about template scenarios. This is not a one or the other scenario!

Please continue to share your template scenarios, and we will keep you posted.

See here for Copy Project: https://microsoftproject.uservoice.com/forums/914203-project-for-the-web/suggestions/38956756-project-for-the-web-copy-project

Hi everyone – thanks for the feedback so far. In regards to Planner & Project for the web, we are definitely listening to these scenarios and thinking about how to improve them!

Would helping import from Planner to Project be helpful in this case, and enabling teams to work in Project?

I read a lot of comments on making sure we can leverage full Planner capabilities in Project, team members being able to see and complete their task, and not wanting to “re-write” and “move” tasks over. Are these the most important scenarios for us when thinking about this area?

Hi all!

We’ve completed some work on this and pretty soon you should see that effort & duration are no longer linked on tasks with no assignments!

We’re still thinking about this problem a lot, so if you have thoughts please continue to give us feedback on this.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Just adding an update here. Although we don’t have a specific timeline, this is something that is on our backlog and hope to have more updates soon. We will be building an integrated Teams & Project native tab experience.

As a workaround for now, you can add a website tab & paste the project URL into Teams.

Hi everyone!

This is something we’re thinking about – but we’d love more feedback from you.

Can you share specific scenarios that you need for resourcing? What information do you need to be successful? What actions do you take as a result of this information?

Please share detailed scenarios for us to understand what you need, this will be very helpful to us as we improve Project!

Hi everyone!

We’ve heard your ask for boards, and we understand that its an important way to work.

We just launched the new Project, with a redesigned user experience that is simple and intuitive. Teams can quickly add new members and set up tasks, and then easily switch between grids, boards, or timeline (Gantt) charts to track progress.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for the feedback on baselines. I’d love to hear more, and get a discussion going to understand the needs and usage here.

What’s the most important set of information in a baseline? How often do you take baselines? How often do you compare baselines?

For those of you who have not previously used the desktop client or Project Online, how have you been tracking baselines on your projects?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Thanks for the votes, we’re definitely thinking about this one. If we had an import to Project button, would this improve your experience in the Web? Would you be able to be successful managing your projects purely in the web? If not, why not? If you would still need the client, why?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I’d like to understand why you need to edit the schedule in the desktop app, versus just in the web? What key components can be improved for you to work in the web, without needing the client?

If we provided an import from .mpp to the web, would you be able to be successful managing your project in the web? If no, why not?

Thank you! We love hearing your feedback.

Hi everyone,

Can you tell us why you’d need to export the data? I’d love to better understand the scenarios on when you would export to csv, or desktop? Why are you doing this and how does it help you be more successful?

Thanks!
