Agile Sprints not working (Sprints tab shows as blank) in Project Professional O365 2306
This seems to have occurred (for me anyway) in one of the June 2023 recent updates in the 2306 O365 update. I know current licensing now is either Desktop or Cloud and only the Cloud apps have Agile,...

To the best of my knowledge, only Project Online Professional (the M365 cloud-based tool) offers the Agile sprints functionality. I realize how frustrating this might be for you, as I experienced the same thing at my previous employer. I was not able to see the Agile sprints functionality when they gave me Microsoft Project 2019 (the perpetual license software), but WAS able to see the Agile sprints functionality when they replaced the software with Project Online Professional. Please keep in mind that I do not work for Microsoft, so I have no control over this functionality and how it is implemented. Hope this helps.

Hi Dale, thanks for your reply. The point is the Agile (Sprints and being able to select a new Sprint project) content should be present in 2019 and 2021 Pro. Microsoft should acknowledge this and fix in the next O365 build. Originally when the Web stuff was called Online you had to add a base Online account to a Project Pro 2019 to get this Agile functionality, add a SharePoint PWA link, or annoyingly switch to then Online/now Cloud Plan1/3/5. I'd like to know if a Cloud/Web Plan1 would fix this issue as it should be possible to add the Project Web App link back in if on the same account.
