Project for the Web is not available for Education customers.
Not including Education customers who have A3/5 or Project-specific SKUs for Project for the Web is a big miss. Aside from cost, what are the barriers for switching this on for Education?

I’ll give an update on an ETA as soon as we have an official one, but this is something we’re actively working on for our EDU customers!

We have a growing need for Project on the Web and users are looking at alternative solutions like Monday.com. Monday has been tested and users are now using it and cannot wait any longer for PotW. Microsoft you are in danger of losing the Education establishments to Monday.com. Have a clear message of when it is going to be available or just make it available now. At lease release to the users that have made comments here. Thank you David.roy@pqacademy.com

I am the PMO Manager at UW Seattle, teach a PM Essentials class at UW Seattle, teach a PM Certificate class at UW Tacoma, and was the PMO Director at Tacoma Public Schools. In all my interactions, I advocate for use of MS Project (desktop app or O365 online). Thanks for the consideration to include MS Project in education where project success is vital and necessary. Having the right tools is key.

We were doing an pilot with Project Online and the tool seemed to hit most of the marks especially the interaction with Project desktop. All our large programs use MS Project for scheduling. It looks like Project Online is a dead end road so we are starting to evaluate PPM tools from other leading vendors. It would be nice to understand the vision for how shops with large complex MS Project schedules fit into the Microsoft PPM vision. Also not having full access to capabilities for EDU is another reason to move away from Microsoft. It is a shame because we consider them a strategic partner and have invested heavily in many of their technologies.

We would benefit from Roadmap being enabled for our Edu tenant. We have leadership who would benefit from seeing mission-specific project portfolios and how project phases align across the portfolio stack. Roadmap could also show potential resource contention concerns and how those relate to which project timelines within a given portfolio or set of projects within the Roadmap using intermediate milestones (based on phases).

Please make Roadmap available to EDU ASAP. I have a difficult time understanding why this is not already available given it was released 10/2018, This practice will just direct EDU users to other competitive products...

We rely on this as we have a large contingency of Mac users who have no other access to Project

Word and Excel on the web are not the best user-experience, from what I've encountered. However, I believe they should post a tentative date of when Project on the web will be available (Summer 2021, or scheduled to be offered after 2022. Check back for more details as we fine-tune our web offerings).

We have many employees who would make use of this instead of 3rd party services!

We've been pushing for this via our Sales Team and support for some time now. It's sad that our users and businesses are having to go to other competitors to use their products (and give them our money!), because Microsoft Licensing doesn't get EDU customers need this as well.

We have around 100 out of 3000 staff who would like this and a few hundred management students who would benefit from being exposed to a Project Management suite

We have departments choosing Mondays.com for functionality a bit beyond Planner. We've shown them the new Project and they would have used that instead... You are losing customers that will be hard to move later.

At UCF, we would enhance our efficiency if Project for the Web was included in our Microsoft 365 package. We are moving to Teams for team communications and OneDrive for document knowledge management; however, we still rely on other programs for project planning. Planner doesn't have the capabilities of Project for the Web for waterfall projects. Could you please switch this on for Education.
