Are we looking for this new tool to be a complete replacement for Project Online? For example, in Project Online we use timesheet functionality, do we have that in planner or will that come? So is the goal being a complete replacement?
- Cindy_LewisApr 04, 2024MCTMy thoughts on timesheets - the majority of companies I work with using Project Online mostly care about "task updating" capabilities and not a "fully functional" timesheet. Often timesheets are tied to payroll or other functions that are not in the control of the Project Management Office. As long as the solution Microsoft provides includes a variety of options for gathering task updates (% complete, hours, etc.), I think most companies could use what is provided and traditional timesheets for pay would be addressed another way.
- BillDow55Apr 04, 2024Copper ContributorThanks Cindy, appreciate the thoughts, but we in our PMO 100% do timesheets for our projects. So, this is a functionality we must have and the only way to understand what projects costs. So, understand that might be what you are seeing but this is functionality we have today, and we still need if we make this move.
- Cindy_LewisApr 04, 2024MCTMy clients doing task updates in Project Online are tracking costs when they ask for an update in either hours or % work complete, but I do see your point.
