Dear Community,
My team started to use Microsoft Project for the Web this January. My IT department allowed to customize some fields in Project Power Apps so we can collect appropriate data relating to our projects. It is also easier to report via power BI. 11 months later, IT realized that this customization was done in the global environment and now they would like to reverse all customization as other teams are also using this application. This means that my team would lose critical information on 90+ projects and we have to store info related to projects in an excel file. As a solution, IT offered to create a new environment where we could keep our 7-8 necessary custom fields. However, this would cost us double price compared to what we pay now for project 3 licenses as well as a great sum of money to kick off the building of the environment and additional monthly updates. Interestingly all the Microsoft videos are telling about the possibility of customization however it seems that for big organisations like mine teams need to pay hidden costs if they would like to use this tool effectively.
Does anyone have the same experience? If yes, do you have a solution customizing your project (custom fields) and avoiding crazy fees?
With many thanks!
