MS Project professional VS Plan 1 VS Plan 3

Hi All,

We are presently using Project standard 2016 that has worked well until now with a single scheduler. Due to an upcoming major project we will require 3 schedulers building and updating the schedule concurrently. Basis different sources have gathered that we would need to upgrade the current Project standard to Project Plan 3 if we need the 3 schedulers to work concurrently on the project.

Q1. Any tips and advises basis experiences of others on how well does Project Plan 3 respond if there are about 10,000 task lines and real time concurrent build/updating.

Q2. Can project managers view the schedule in real time while the schedulers are working on it? Does the Plan 3 license restrict the no. of users who can see the schedule in "read only" mode.

Q3. Does Project Plan 3 need any other software as well to work such as Office 365, etc.
