Hi everyone! Thanks for the feedback again.

I’ve broken this down into two general scenario requests and have some more questions.

Scenario 1) I want to share my Roadmap with a stakeholder but I don’t want them to have editing capabilities, or they might not even have a Project license. Follow ups – is this RO stakeholder a part of the team/group in the Roadmap?

Scenario 2) I want to export or print to share or present the Roadmap with (possibly outside) stakeholders (whether this is in PPT presentation or a physical printout). Follow ups – why not screenshot the view and put it in PPT or then print?

Thanks for your inputs!! We’re listening and thinking hard about your scenarios.

Thank you all for voting on this! Can you all share more about what you’re looking to do with custom fields?

What kinds of information would you put in them? Why?

Are you looking to only put them on tasks? Or, on projects and resources as well?

Do you want each field you create to appear in just for one project? All your projects? Would you be creating them for other people to use in their projects?

Thanks for your help,
The Project Team

Hi everyone!

Thanks to the feedback here, I’m updating this status to Planned. We’ll keep you updated on the development and deployment of this feature to help unlock the scenarios you all have described.

Keep sharing your feedback with us on UserVoice!

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 -

Based on the feedback you’ve shared, it sounds like we need to unlink the duration and effort fields to allow for more flexibility in scheduling. We plan on working on this soon – we’ll keep you updated in this thread.

Hi all!

We’re planning on building “Copy Project”. To everyone who has been commenting so far, would this satisfy your scenario (as some asks are for “Templates”)? Please share why it would/wouldn’t, and I will continue to update the status accordingly.

Thanks!

Hi all —

Thanks for the suggestion, I’m updating this status to Planned!

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!

Can you please share why you are asking for a two way integration for Planner and Project? We are thinking a bit about a one way integration (import) from Planner to Project, but would like to better understand the ask for a two way integration.

If you could share scenarios and stories on why this is important, this would help us better understand the problem so that we can best support our customers!

To clarify – this post is in the “Project for the web” category, so the feedback should be aligned to the right application!

Hi everyone!

We listened and agreed with your feedback on Project Home to be more compatible with the right PWA sites, so we committed and released a capability where Project Home users can now change the default PWA site to their preferred PWA site. This allows Project Home users to control the creation location of new Project Online projects, and to navigate more easily to desired PWA sites from Project Home.

You can learn more about how to use this feature here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Project-Blog/Change-Your-Default-PWA-Site-for-Project-Home/ba-p/353439

This feature will rollout to tenants gradually over a period of time. Please let us know if there are any questions or comments, we’re actively listening to you all.

Hi all!

We would love to learn more about this suggestion. What types of Jira projects are you expecting to connect? What type of Jira issues would you want to bring in? What interactions would you expect with the Jira connection in Roadmap?

Any comments and suggestions here would be helpful for us to better understand this scenario.

Thanks!
~J

Hi all -

You can now add the PWA project summary task in the Roadmap UI and its dates will stay updated. Note that this works with only new PWA connections to Roadmap.

Thanks for the feedback!

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!

~J

Hi all!

We’d love to hear more about using Planner in Roadmap. Would you connect multiple Plans together in one Roadmap? As a portfolio manager, would you bring in both Planner tasks and Project tasks in one Roadmap? What type of Planner tasks would you bring into this view? What else would you expect?

Please share any details and feedback around this – we love hearing your thoughts!

~J

Hi all!

Thanks for the suggestion. We’d love to understand more around this scenario.

Would you be adding tasks and milestones? Do you ever expect to connect this row to a project, or create a project? What happens after the proposal state to the row? Why else would you be creating blank rows and tasks? Would you have a roadmap with both types of rows?…

The comments below are very helpful already, so please keep them coming! We want to better understand why customers need this scenario fulfilled.
