Microsoft Project for the web and Teams for Work Management and Collaboration

This video provides a deep dive into the relatively new Microsoft Project for the web and with a focus on how it integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft has gone through a major transition when it comes to their work management, project management and portfolio management offerings.
Microsoft Project for the web, is built on the tried and tested scheduling engine from the desktop client. It offers a visually rich and intuitive work management experience that highlights progress and exceptions in the schedule. When Project for the web is used inside of Microsoft Teams; we get the same core functionality; but now with a dedicated channel for team collaboration.

Hello, wonderful overview, thanks a lot. I just have some question: Does it support all kinds of dependencies FS, FF, SS, Sf? does it have manual scheduling mode? Can it support guest from outside the organization?

[@SenseiPPM]

Yes, you do have advanced dependencies as well as lead and lag. There's manual scheduling in the sense that you can just enter the dates manually, yes. Guests can be supported too.

Hi, what's package subscriptions you choose? Microsoft has a lot of it, it's confusing which one that exactly I wanna get like in your video. Thanks

[@Energieknopf]

Nice Video, sounds great. Is it also possible to Connect your Project Operations Project via MS Roadmap into Teams? Thank you

[@SenseiPPM]

Project Operations is not supported for Roadmap at this time.

Hi, I have a question. I have added my team to the Microsoft project manager project? I have created the group and assigned tasks but they still aren't able to see them. Thanks for your help!

[@SenseiPPM]

It's possible that the team doesn't have a license in place. Trying having them go to project.microsoft.com and see if they can access Project for the web. If they can, then they should be able to see your project under 'Shared with me'. Another thing you can confirm is that within your project, when you click on 'Group Members' in the upper right-hand corner, you see the names of the team members listed. 🙂

Nice video! i have a question: how do i connect a project from the web to a teams group? i mean, i can work on the web project, but i want to share it with my work group and let them change and work on the project too. (via teams) When i open the project app in a teams group, the project doesnt show in there to open it. I hope you answer, thanks for the video!

[@SenseiPPM]

Microsoft Project for the web allows you to either create a new group or use an existing M365 Group, but it sounds like you already know that! 🙂 At Sensei, we've created an automation that uses these groups to put the infrastructure in place inside of Microsoft Teams so that you have a dedicated Channel to manage the project. If this is something your organization would like to explore, please see www.senseiprojectsolutions.com/senseiiq/

Hi, can you have multiple MS Project projects in one team? How would one do that? I cannot seem to open more than one, but could be user error for sure. Also, what does one do if they do not see their MS Project on the drop down list to bring into Teams, but all members of the Team are members of the MS Project as well? (Looking to bring in already created projects).

[@ew2712]

Hi - great videos and now a subscriber ! Do you know if Projects can be published to Private teams channels at all - limiting which team members can view certain projects? I have tried all kinds of ways to get the project to appear on a tab, (Publish from Project and also Create from Teams tab), but the option just never comes up :(

[@devesharya3365]

hey did u get anything on it?

[@ThePipermac]

I have just started to use this for my team... but when I add a column and a custom field they are unable to edit that new field. Is that normal? I have searched but have not been able to find an answer to this.

[@SenseiPPM]

@ThePipermac, O365 users have read-only access to custom fields. If you want them to be able to edit, they'll need a Project Plan 1 license. See details here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/project-online-service-description/project-web-service-description

[@ThePipermac]

@@SenseiPPM thank you!

[@peter-melvinfransen3787]

Great!

[@RyanMarquette-mw6tu]

When marking a task complete, how do we know when the task was completed and if it was completed late? The late filter only shows if the task is incomplete AND late, and doesnt indicate how late or when it was completed

[@SenseiPPM]

Today, you only know if a task is running last based on the scheduled date. There is no baseline at the task level (yet!).

[@nickweiss1588]

is there a way to add a tasks by projects tab instead of tasks by panner?

[@nickweiss1588]

[@SenseiPPM]

@nickweiss1588 Natively from Microsoft you can insert the 'Project' app on a tab in a Teams channel. To look across projects though, you need something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2i1mqBpmbZog9U
