Microsoft Planner and Project: a look at what’s to come

Licantrop0 and MTexas123  are you suggesting we make Planner users pay for Project licenses when they only need some of the basic functions?  Or that we give Project away "for free" (included with the core M365 subscription) even though for some users the feature set will be more than they need (and will be getting bigger) so that they then find it too cumbersome?  There are reasons why some users have managed their projects in Excel even though they could have purchased Project - and that is the same reason why there is a good user base for both Project and Planner.  The thing we need to do is ensure parity so that users who make the step up to Project don't lose anything, and also (to the point MTexas123 makes above) that users who may be assigned tasks in both applications don't have to think about those tasks any differently - or go to different places to update their progress.  As I mentioned elsewhere, Cathy says exactly that in the video above - "Soon, Project tasks will flow into the Assigned to You list in the Task in the Teams tasks app".
