Summer 2023 updates: What’s new and coming soon in Microsoft Project for the web

Hi SourabhS what happened to Feature 117363?

AWentz and ProjectUzer I'd be suspect when relying on Mar-Jun 24. If you're holding off choosing another product due to this I wouldn't trust the release date.

They keep ignoring the question why it doesn't come out or why they delete the user requested features.

• This functionality was coming in "a few months" in November 2021
• @Mukul Kumar  was "pleased to share" in Ignite 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuwFUs4OJgg (3:56) Assigned to me was being rolled out in the "next couple of months"
• Microsoft project team have deleted the "Assigned to Me" feature request on the community feedback twice without having delivered it either time. Both times it was the top voted for request.
• Microsoft has deleted the "Assigned to Me" feature from the Project roadmap, was feature 117363 after flagging for release in August https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Project&searchterms=117363 
• This assigned to me feature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x84S71wMoHA was posted four months ago by microsoft but not released

AWentz and ProjectUzer, I appreciate your reaching out to us regarding "Assigned to Me" feature. Our team is actively working on this feature and its slated for release in the Mar-Jun 24 timeframe. We're finalizing the dates and the public roadmap for Assigned To Me would be updated soon with the dates.

nicjorgensen It seems that the Planner update is going to consolidate Project for the Web if you purchase Planner Premium  - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/planner-blog/the-new-microsoft-planner-a-unified-experience-bringing-together/bc-p/3989318#M1567

Feature 117363 has disappeared from the roadmap. 
It this feature being replace by what looks like a larger update to Planner in Feature 186964?
Ultimately I suppose it doesn't matter for me and my team since we had to switch to Asana in order to get the needed functionality.

AlexanderLahuerta the very anticipated feature 117363 (Assigned to me...) is no longer showing in development and now says: This item will be republished in the future with updated information.

Can you/someone provide an update on what we can expect?

Agree with all the above comments and questions on:

1. Microsoft Project: Assigned to Me view for Project tasks (Feature ID: 117363)

2. Microsoft Project: Email notifications for late project tasks (Feature ID: 117364)

Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365

Both of these say rolling out in August 2023....with no updates. 

Would be nice to see more progress on P4W enhancements.

Thank you.

Jason_Gonzalez I've added the Task History information to my data model.  The data is actually stored in the msdyn_projecthistory table, with example M code below to access it.  Environment URL is a parameter with the filepath to our environment.  You can either create this parameter in your file, or rename it if you already have a similar parameter.

*** Disclaimer - The following is not a step by step guide on how to add Task History to your mode and assumes you have some basic knowledge of Power BI data modeling (star schema) & Power Query.

When establishing relationships in your model. I'm using the native table->field name's and they may vary in your model.

• Resource Name - Link msdyn_projecthistory->msdyn_xrmuserid field to the SystemUser->systemuserid field.
• Project ID - Link msdyn_projecthistory->msdyn_projectid field to msdyn_projects->msdyn_projectid field
• Task ID - If you are using the free Power BI template on GitHub you will need to correct the model.  The Project Tasks table, native name is msdyn_projecttasks, needs to be split into a dim and fact tables.  The modeling for this needs to be finalized, but for now in Power Query, I added a new Dims Project Tasks table, which only includes msdyn_projecttaskid and Task Name fields.  I linked Dims Project Tasks to the original Project Task table using msdyn_projecttaskid and I linked the new Dims Project Tasks to the Project History table using msdyn_projecttaskid.  Doing it this way doesn't break all of your existing reports, but eventually I'll move addition fields to the new new Dims Project Tasks table.
• I haven't established relationships with any of the additional msdyn_projecttaskid fields in my model, but I anticipate additional modeling changes will be required. 
• M Code to add Task History to your model:
  let
      Source = Cds.Entities(#"Environment URL", [ReorderColumns=null, UseFormattedValue=null]),
      entities = Source{[Group="entities"]}[Data],
      msdyn_projecthistory = entities{[EntitySetName="msdyn_projecthistory"]}[Data]
  in
      msdyn_projecthistory

Any updates on viewing ‘Assigned to me’ Project tasks in Teams/To-Do? Rollout was planned for August 2023. Still nothing here. This feature is urgently needed, otherwise this whole assignment of owners is quite useless. Not everyone has the time and resources to check the project overview on regular bases. 

In addition to that, is the integration in MS Planner also planned? 

And we still don´t have a simple feature like lead and lag times in task dependencies.

Just disappointing.

Our users are switching to other software, because they're missing the due-notification feature. Thats what we need urgently: E-Mail Notification to the Assignee of a Task when its due. Or integrate it in the Planner, then we canuse the notifications ettings of the planner.
