Can the New Project option on Project Center be made available on PWA home page?

Hi everyone,

When a user Iogs in to PWA, it brings you to a Home Page from where you can go to the Project Center page that houses all projects. But currently the New Project creation option is not available on the Home Page, it is only available in Project Center page. Is there a way to customize the Home Page so that users can have the New Project option available as a "tile" on the Home Page. 

Please see attached screenshots of the home page and project center. The highlighted option on the ribbon is what I'd like on the Home Page. 

Please advise if anyone has been able to customize that behavior.

    Hello mohd123,

    You can't add custom tiles the the default "Track your work" web part on the PWA home page but you could add your own promoted links web part on the home page with any custom links. The link you'd use to create a new project is here, the user could then select the correct EPT:
    {pwaSiteUrl}/_layouts/15/PWA/Wizards/CreateProject.aspx  - replace {pwaSiteUrl} with your PWA URL so it looks like this example:

    https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/_layouts/15/PWA/Wizards/CreateProject.aspx

    I hope that helps

      Hi Paul,
      That worked, thank you for that new project link. As a follow-up, is it possible to put that custom link on the ribbon rather than in a promoted web part?
