Agile boards
The new agile features added to Project are good for planning. Key aspect of agile is communication in teammembers, so access to the plan/boards for team is very important.
It can be sufficient just display the boards in project site or in PWA.104 votesHi 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.

Roadmap export
I'd like the ability to export or print a roadmap to PDF to make it easier to share for status reporting with non-Project users.
97 votesHi 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.

Roadmap allow zooming to quarters and years.
Roadmap zoom should be allow to zoom down to quarters or years. This would allow viewing Roadmaps that are many years in the planning.

Custom fields in “Project for the Web”
Custom fields in newly released “Project for the Web” at both project level and task level.
78 votesThank 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,

Project "Home" better compatibility with multiple PWA sites
The new Project Home concept looks a good start (from Brian Smith's recent post) but there are a few things that could do with some refinement for those customers with multiple Project Web App sites as some of our customers do.
The list of recent projects could with some metadata to describe the container site of the project (maybe the EPT would suffice here but no reason why this couldn't be the site description)
the New Project directing to the /PWA site is gong to be awkward when /PWA is used simply as a landing page (which has been our…
73 votesHi 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.

Add templates to project for the web
When creating a new project we don't want to start from scratch each time. We should be able to select a type of project (or an existing one) and use that as a starting point.
72 votesHi 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!

Allow organisations to customise the Project Home landing page to include company information
Many organisations already have a sort of landing page or home page for Project Online, where the default site collection (typically PWA) acts as a storefront for going to different PWAs for different departments for example. This landing page typically includes links to training materials, process guides and support contacts, as well as tiles/promoted links for other PWAs.
The new Project Home landing page should be customisable, to allow organisations to add standard content for the end user. This helps user adoption, especially for non-project managers who may typically head straight for a specific Project Center that they have saved…

Add Jira integration
Love the current vision for roadmaps as it was presented at Ignite 2018. It would be great to see more integration. Efforts as soon as the tool matures and people start working with it.
For instance, besides Azure Boards, Planner and project online/new project service. It would be great to get a connection with Jira.
In The Netherlands this tool is almost always available in IT departments for clients I visit. And there is a real need to get a overview on all Project and agile efforts across the organization.
Regards,
Erik van Hurck53 votesHi 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!

Roadmap to add project summary task
When adding items to a row, Roadmap does not allow adding project summary row. This would be good feature because Roadmap can show start and end of project.
52 votesHi 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!

Project for the web: Change licensing to allow for extensibility at a sensible price
Currently extending Project for the Web with the Power Platform requires a Project Plan P3/P5 subscription. This very expensive given that you already have to pay for a PowerApps subscription as well. This is especially drastic if you need to provide access for team members. Their numbers are normally much higher than the PMs.

Two way integration with microsoft planner and Microsoft projects
Have full in depth integration between microsoft planned and Project to ensure the reach is greater and not limitted to the Project environment, Ideally it should also link to PWA and the full Microsoft Projects.

Project Roadmap - ability to pull in the status values from Project Online
Currently, once the Project Online task is added to the "Row" on Project Roadmap, only the following Status values can be displayed:
a) Not set
b) On track
c) At risk
d) High risk
e) Done.In addition, Project Roadmap should give users the choice to pull in task status values from Project Online. (On schedule, Late, Future Task, Inactive, Complete)

Project for the web: Add existing Planner capabilities (e.g. document attachments, checklists, priority)
Add existing Planner capabilities to the task details of Project for the Web (e.g. document attachments, checklists, priority, comments). Also @mentioning as new feature would be great.

Allow better Extensibility in the CDS
Allow programatic editing of the entities for Project for the web. Such as editing all Project/Task fields, creating new Tasks, Assigning Resources to tasks, etc.
This will enable users and Partners to extend the Project For the Web platform and integrate with other applications.

Similar to Planner's integration. Having a site part that points is not good enough.

Planner in Roadmap
Project Roadmap allows portfolio managers to bring in key tasks from Azure Boards and Projects in PWA.
Planner is used for small, ongoing projects. Please include support to add tasks from Planner to Roadmap as this gives Portfolio managers a better view of all key information in a single screen
38 votesHi 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!

Roadmap needs ability to add rows for proposed projects
Roadmap needs ability to add rows for proposed projects. Currently way to do this, requires me to create a dummy project and published.
37 votesHi 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.

Ability to publish Roadmap to Sharepoint site
It would be highly useful for a web part which links to Roadmap, allowing for the ability to publish a Read-Only version of the Roadmap to a Sharepoint site. This would specifically be useful for giving the high level management or executive team view to how projects are tracking.
