Project Desktop vs. Project Online vs. Project for the Web

[@mickp10]

Thanks for the video, great overview. Microsoft has a long way to go for Planner Premium (previously Project for the Web) to have the functionality/capability of Project Online.

[@PragmaticWorks]

Glad it helped!

Excellent video! Thank you for the explanation

[@HannahDonato]

This is so good, thank you.

Thank you Yasmine, great video.

Wonderful video. Do you have a video on how to actually input your data information? This is so new to me, and I want to learn how you created the numbered tasks and ask the other data. If there's any other video that already covers that, I'll be glad if you point me towards it.

Thank you for the video. How do I search in Project for the Web? or is the search bar a missing feature in Project for the Web?

Great video, thank you so much! I'm interested to know in the new Project for the Web and assigning tasks, how is a department leader/project manager able to manage their employees time across multiple projects. They may have 7x 1 day long tasks across 5 separate projects all due within the same week. Within a single project this seems easy enough to see in the People view, but how can someone higher up in the company identify that they actually have too many tasks assigned to them that won't be completed on time and therefore consider assigning to someone else. I see resources mentioned in some of the project plans, but get confused between whether this is a person (via Assigned to) or whether that is a resource like a physical manufacturing machine or other object that needs time booked to it. Or is the same thing? Any thoughts?

very clear, thank you. I presume you can start a project on Project Web, then if you find you need to track costs or variance from a baseline, etc, you could transfer it to Project Desktop?

[@dannyscorpio123]

HI.. thanks for the information... I would like to know if we can assign baseline for Project for the Web

[@junedshaikh2964]

Thank you for the beautiful video. I have two questions. 1. If I create 6 Date fields, (Start date & Finish Date) (Baseline Start Date & Baseline finish Date) (Actual Start Date & Actual Finish Date) will it allow me to identify variance and measure Planned vs Actuals. 2. Is there a way I can connect pwa with PowerBi without using microsoft project Powerbi template.

[@JonathanPiston]

Thank you very much ! I know the difference now !

Great video. If you add group members to the project, are they able to see the project for the web document? I am having trouble giving access to my other group members within the project. I have added them and assigned them to tasks, but they still aren't authorized to see the project document. They also do not have a project subscription.

After four years of telling the world that Microsoft Project is going away, Microsoft announced at the Ignite conference a couple of months ago that Microsoft Project IS NOT going away after all. Microsoft was getting huge pushback from their large corporate clients who are unwilling to move to Project for the Web because it lacks most of the functionality that large corporate clients need (like custom enterprise fields, master projects, cross-project dependencies, etc.). Project for the Web, which is a low-end scheduling tool, is going to be merged into the Planner app, which is an even lower-end scheduling tool. BTW, at the Ignite conference, Microsoft also announced that Project Online and Project Server ARE NOT going away either, in spite of what Microsoft had been saying for the last four years. So, Project for the Web is not your future. If you don't find it useful, then I would return to using Microsoft Project in full confidence that it is not going away. Hope this helps.

[@briando3644]

Thanks a lot. Your comment is the most recent clear update I have read so far. Which path can you recommend to use Microsoft Project and link it to a scheduling tool for task assigning?

[@sergioavila6925]

Very well explained, quite helpful! And have clarified the limitations of Project for the Web. I reckon the online version with all those features we had on desktop version will be on the Project Power App?
