Will Planner be sunset in favor of a free version of Project in the future? It seems like the team is having to juggle two overlapping apps, and Planner is getting the short stick. Why not lay it to rest and let all M365 users get a taste of Project with a 'light' version (like what the Visio team did).

Interested in what you would expect in a 'light' version of Project that would be any different to Planner - apart from the name? I usually think of Planner as the 'free' version of Project, although of course all our customers have actually paid for Planner too, with their M365 license. Is it just the name Alex?
- atrain204May 09, 2023Iron ContributorI'm envisioning a version of Project (or Planner) that allows teams to manage projects with granular user permissions, assignable sub-tasks, DLP, version history and isn't tied to M365 Group permissions. Basically everything that Planner is severely lacking today 😉
