Microsoft Rolls out the New MS Project

One of the disadvantages of using MS Project is the difficulty of sharing that information across to team members and stakeholders. We could export to Excel, sync with SharePoint, or export to PDF. There were built-in reporting, but still not fully matured.

With this rollout, MS Project is now part of the 0365 ecosystem, integrated with Teams for collaboration and PowerBI for reporting. How amazing is that! The UX has also been updated to provide a simplified and cleaner experience.

What are your thoughts?! I am actually a bit disappointed my current role does not require using the tool but still look forward to seeing this blossom and getting feedback from the community.

This integration would certainly make communicating project details easier across a large organization. I'm glad to see the change.

I’ve seen this on LinkedIn and it looks great. We normally use Primavera for our scheduling. Thanks for sharing Andrew.

I'm excited about the integration with 365. I can see how it could be a very powerful tool when combined with Teams. I'd like to play around with it and see what we can do, but I don't have a subscription.

Thanks Andrew for bringing this up;
I was not aware of that.

I loved to work with MS Project in the past and it seems they took the right steps now.
My company do use O365 and I hope they will integrate it since we are already using teams and PowerBI.
However, my company is also working on an enterprise wide project of implementing Changepoint as the enterprise solution ... therefore i am not sure about there current strategy regarding MS Project.

Interesting. This appears to be different to the current Microsoft Project Standard/Pro product, without a lot of that's features. It looks nice and easy to use for simple projects.

I wonder if it integrates with the Microsoft PPM product?

I recently participated in a hands-on demonstration of this. It was very good. I also know a few PMOs that leverage this and by all accounts it's a pretty good offering to capture portfolio, program, and project level details and status. If you integrate time sheets into it, you can also use it for resource capacity planning.

This is great. Thanks for sharing. I wonder how much competition this will give popular platforms such as Jira and Trello. ??
