SharePoint Sites Best Practice - Project
Michael_Paul I don't understand why you wouldn't want to use Project Online to help manage the projects themseleves and the project sites. Since premissions can be automated in terms of access to the sites and access is easily managed from within these. Using a Project Site template (or set of them) provides for an easy way to ensure governance. I think you seem to be making very hard work of it by just using SharePoint! IMHO anyway... 🙂
Hi Kelvin_Kirby
You got my attention to Project Online and I quickly dig to see how this supports creating sites for specific projects.
Before I go deeper, can you confirm that "You can only add Project Online to a site collection that uses the Classic Team Site or Project Site template" as it states here?
If the Project online can use modern sites, can you bring some articles on how to do that, please?
- I was referring to the Project Sites that get created for each project (if the option is selected) in an EPT. What you are referring to is adding a PWA instance to a SharePoint Site Collection and that's what is referenced in the URL you mentioned. In the former case when designing a Project Site template you can switch Web parts to use modern or classic, and these options are retined when saving the Project Site template. Within a PWA instance you may have many different types of projects and you can have a different project site look and feel (defined by the project site template associated with the EPT for that type of project). I would look up "Enterprise Project Types" and "Project Site Template creation" as there's plenty of existing material out there on these topics.
- Thank you.
Since I don't have a license yet to explore the possibilities, would it work for the Project P3 plan?
Sorry for asking but have no experience with this.
