I think many of the comments about Project are confusing due to the video not distinguishing THREE different products:
- Planner or Tasks by Planner or Tasks (included and integrated with Teams)
- Project for the Web - a nice basic tool, this is what Planner should be by default. Instead it is an additional paid license for timeline view and dependencies
- Project - the workstation-based application, the great grandparent of project planning software. This is the Pro tool
These are non-interoperable tools and there is not a way to get a consolidated view across all or use them in harmony.
MSFT should expand the capability of #1 to include the features from #2 (Timeline view, PowerBI integration). Having two similar products makes no sense.
