As I stated in my previous post, Microsoft Project can only connect to Planner when used with either Project Online or Project Server. There is functionally no difference between the 2019 and 2021 versions. This is because Microsoft spent all of the their development money on Project for the Web, which is a low-end project management tool for small and simple projects. Microsoft DID announce recently that later this year, Project for the Web will be merged into the Planner app. Hope this helps.
Molalenge -- I am not clear what information you are seeking. There are no planned enhancements for Dashboard reports and there is already a link between enterprise projects and Planner when Microsoft Project is used with Project Online or Project Server. What information are you seeking? Let us know and we will try to help you.
Thank you Dale for your response; my MS Project 2019 does not link with a Planner! What features are in MS Project 2021 (either the online or the web version) compared to MS 2019? Thanks.

I have seen that Microsoft sells now Project 2024 Standard and Professional perpetual licenses. Is there any difference (apart from colors,themes) from this one to 2019 and 2021 versions?? (not online versions). It seems that only changes numbers, is that right?
Thank you for you attention and answer.

No, there is no functional difference between Microsoft Project 2024, compared with the 2019 and 2021 versions. Microsoft has not added any new functionality to this tool in a long time, to my regret, by the way. Hope this helps.
Dale,
REF: MS PROJECT REPORTING-limit to 85 columns??
How are you. Is there any way one can extend the reporting column in MS Project from 85 to 100? Thanks

85 columns - where in Microsoft Project are you seeing this limit? Dashboard reports? Tables? Let us know and we will try to help you.
