MicrosoftI am willing to give planner a try, all i want to do is import my mpp file so i can test , it is impossible to do this seeamlesly the only way to replicate is to laboureoussly enter EVERY task and dependcy again. This is Artifical intelligence NOT real intelligence. Any one know another way ??
Planner is not a replacement for Microsoft Project. You can’t directly import an .mpp file into Planner. Microsoft never built that bridge. Planner is deliberately lightweight; Project is not. Trying to force one into the other is like pouring concrete through a funnel.
> If you care about dates, dependencies, critical path, or resource load → stay in Project
> If management insists on Planner → flatten the plan and accept the loss
Trying to “import MPP into Planner” is a business decision problem, not a technical one.
Moving to Planner means
> You accept Planner’s limitations
> You’re willing to maintain the flow
> You don’t expect “full project management” at the other end.
That said, why are you trying to move from mpp to Planner anyway _ Microsoft Project Desktop Client ISN'T going away - only Project Online. If you need a replacement for Project Online then look at Altus.Pro which offers direct integration with Project Online and capabilities beyond the current ones in Project Online amyway.
