    I'm hoping to hear a long-awaited update to the new "Vision" of project tools that was originally announced way back in 2018. To be honest, we are having end users try Project for the Web and walk away. They don't like its slow performance and limited feature set. There is also really not much on the M365 Roadmap to communicate back to them. When you start talking about Project Accelerator or OnePlan they say no thanks. They're not interested in managing complex pieces to make a platform work. They are really looking for a cloud-based platform that you can just scale to any use case and it's very easy to just start using it. There are so many competitors jumping into the ring...so I think Microsoft has a limited amount of time to get this figured out. In a nutshell, users don't want the confusion of having to choose from To-Do, Planner, Project for the Web, Project for Operations, Azure DevOps, SharePoint Task Lists, Loop Tasks, and Published Tasks Lists. They just want a single tool that they can scale to their needs. Please include some sort of update around this during the scheduled event. Thank you.

    Hoping to hear about the future Microsoft plans to expand the P4W Assignments view to look across all P4W project at once for a huge upgrade in the function of P4W as a resource planning/management asset.

        John, a cross-project assignment view is not currently an upcoming roadmap item; we will place this on the list of features to investigate.
