Project for web in MS Teams
Hi I am wanting to add a project plan to Microsoft teams. I have created a project plan in project for the web (website), however when i try and add it to the project tab in a Microsoft Teams (team), its not there because the project name assigns it to an office365 group with that exact project name. I dont believe this used to be the behaviour of project for the web as i could easily add the project plans to a teams channel before.
Hello paulk2224 ,
If I've understood the issue correctly, that is how it works. From the Project Teams app, you can create a new Project if there are no projects associated with the current Team or if the current Team does have a project associated you can pick that project.
A Project in the Project for the web (website) that is not part of a Team / M365 Group, can't be added to a Team via the Project Teams app, it has to be done via the Project for the web web app. If a project is part of a Team / M365 group already, it can't be added to a different Team via the Project Teams app.
I hope that helps

The new behavior in Project for the web, where project names create Office 365 groups, can be tricky.
Try this:
Rename your project to avoid conflicts with existing Office 365 groups.
Add the project to Teams by clicking '+' in the channel, selecting 'Project,' and finding your project.

Just sharing my experience as it may be helpful. We have deployed P4W as a named instance with Project Accelerator and I am a System Admin. When I click the Project tile in Teams it provides access to the entire environment, not a single project, just as if I had opened the instance in PowerApps.
