Manage a Project task in Planner
- Aug 27, 2017
Not much to see yet. You can link a task to planner plan and you get an indicator in the Project desktop client. The first person assigned on the task is set as owner of the plan. All other assigned resources are not taken into account. There are no new columns that you can drag into the Project client views and there is no other way of seeing the status of the linked plan. In the PWA, there is no indicator at all.
One draw-back for people working in multi-tenant environments: It somehow allows you only to choose plans from the tenant, to which your Windows account belongs to and it doesn't respect the account which you have set your Office Account to.

The third scenario is what I need...
I have Project for Office 365 MSO, e.g. Microsoft Project Online Desktop client - you say sscenario 3 will work with this subscription?
Otherwise uur IT will try to set up the FluentPro Project-Planner-Synch-tool...
Hi FastTrack-F1
The ootb integration is just as you realized a link, that doesn't sync any other information.
It is deemed to support scenario 1.
So for your scenario 3 you would need to setup a third party tool like the FluentPro tool you mentioned to automate integration.
