What online Project Plan is closest to MS Project 2016
Hi!
I am interested in upgrading my users from M.S. Project 2016 Pro to a cloud based solution from Microsoft.
I need the team planner and other functions that are available in the M.S. Project 2016 Pro version. What is the closest version in the could to upgrade from 2016 Pro?
Thanks!

Hello JonathanKine ,
In Office 365 there is the subscription version of the Project Online Desktop client - this is the latest version of the Project desktop tool with all the features including features like:
- Planner Integration (when using Project Online also): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/project-support-blog/streamline-cross-team-work-with-the-newly-integrated-project/ba-p/362061
- Task Boards: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/use-task-boards-in-microsoft-project-online-desktop-client-1b9b44d7-fd8e-4b3b-ab94-2b97deb9945b
Project Online Desktop is included with Project Plan 3 license or above, see this link for details: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/project/microsoft-project-licensing
In Office 365 there is also the Project Online service - Project Server but in the Office 365 cloud.
