Marc_Hippler You can do most of what your wanting, but it will require users be licensed and have a certain amount of training. In our org, we would never license/train department heads. We created a set of Power BI reports to display this information as the built-in view were lacking.

Thanks for the input. I see the advantage in the PBI reports that no license is required, but configuring them to express the data we want is another layer that we do not have setup yet. I assume it is possible to get overviews over project tasks with gantt views as well as individual resource assignments from there, but setting that up likely requires quite some experience in PBI that we do not have at the moment. I'm aware that there are standard templates for MS project available, but without diving deeper into it, I was not able to arrive at similar views to what the resource assignment tab in PWA could offer. Further input on how to get there (or learning resources) would be highly appreciated.
On the other hand, training for department heads to get the information they want in PWA is something we could achieve right now. So I'm wondering if there are other reasons beside cost/training why you prefer the PBI option.
Thanks!
