Project in teams not opening task chat window
Hi, I have been using Microsoft Project for the web and the Teams chat connection with my development team. Unfortunately, something has happened since Thursday 13-02-2025 that means the chat window is not opening for a task (Microsoft Teams -> Channel -> Project -> Task -> Window) It is extremely annoying, as we use the chat to show examples of development (screenshots, etc.) Does anyone have the same problem, or a solution to how to solve the problem? Regards, Lasse
Which tool when: Project or Planner?
There's a reasonably new project management tool in play. When should you use Microsoft Project versus the newer Microsoft Planner? There are pros and cons to both and it's important you know them before getting started. That, and proponents of Project may be going overkill now that there's a user-friendly 'competitor'. Here's some guidance to help you along the way. Hopefully you find this info useful! https://icsh.pt/ProjectOrPlannerProject Online and Azure DevOps Integration
Any ideas on the plan for Project Online and Azure DevOps integration? The process for TFS to Project Server on prem is no longer supported. Predefined field maps only available connectivity, so not really a solution we can use. How are others replacing the TFSFieldMapping? Thanks!
Project for the web - Roadmap from Microsoft?
Hi Is there somewhere a development roadmap of features coming to project for the web? Particular dependencies are so limited, I find shameful the price MS is charging for an annual license considering how primitive it is. Lags seem to only to work by dragging it on the timeline, but they get deleted when things move around overall. You cannot edit them in the grid, like in the project version for desktop and is missed any basic features around lags ( as in task +- time, start to start, or finish to start etc. ) . Options for manual and automatic scheduling of tasks ...? e.g. I can move task 2 ahead of task 1 on the timeline to create a lag/gap of 2 weeks. But if I move task 1 around task 2 does not follow task1 with a constant 2 week lag. The lag disappears if I move task 1 forward in time, or the lag extends if I move task 1 backwards in time. It seem to me that once you create a lag on the time line, then the task behalves like manual scheduled, but can start no sooner than the predecessor. This implementation of lags is very useless in practice. That means larger schedules with lag cannot be readjusted ones schedules as lags all get messed up when things move around. I hope this sees some updates soon!! Are there any known plans to make the lags usable in project online?Project licenses getting too expensive? Try syncing Project with SharePoint
Link: http://icansharepoint.com/use-sharepoint-avoid-expensive-ms-project-licenses/ Want a simpler and cheaper way to give access and get updates to a Project MPP file? Sick of exporting PDFs just so your team and leadership can see your project status? Turns out you can two-way-sync an MPP with a simple SharePoint Task List. Everyone with SharePoint access can then see and even update the MPP through SharePoint — no Project licenses required other than the project manager, plus a simpler interface than learning Project. Check out this blog series on how best to sync MPPs to SharePoint, how to customize the setup, and how to use the new solution on a day-to-day basis among your team. This can save you a bunch of time, hassle, and money.
We couldnt find a task with that name", but task already exists?
I am composing a schedule on MS Project Online. In the "depends on" column, it does not let me add additional tasks to a task row. it only let me adds up to 7 tasks as a dependency to a row. It will not let me add anymore and it reads "We couldn't find a task with that name", but I have been assigning them and it exists? Is there a limit of tasks I can assign? I have attached a screenshot for clarification. Please let me know what I am doing wrong! Thank you.
Project for the web only supports finish-to-start links
Is there a documented plan for when additional task links/dependency types for Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF), and Start-to-Finish (SF) will be added to Project for the web/Project Online? To be clear, when I say "documented plan" I don't mean a forecast date when those features will be released, but more so, something originating from someone at Microsoft stating that this is at least on a roadmap. We're transitioning from the desktop app to Project for the web/Online and it was a bit disappointing that my first interaction with the platform when I imported an existing .mpp was an error message stating, "Project for the web only supports finish-to-start links". I have watched the video below and this is really what I'm looking for - something (article, message board reply, video, etc.) that shows the addition of these features are in development or planning. Extra thanks if there are dates (I am a Project Manager after all)! Hopefully this is coming sooner than later!
