Question about enhancing the appearance of a roadmap in MS Project Online
I created a few projects in MS Project online. Then I created a roadmap based on these projects. All of this was easy to do and worked fine. My manager asked me if I can enhance the view of the roadm...
Dale,
Actually, my organization had the Project Plan 3 license and just upgraded to Project Plan 5. I have the Microsoft Project desktop application in my workspace in AWS. So, I need someone in my organization to create the Project Online instance and configure it for use. Sounds like I can then use Project Online to create a timeline and use as a roadmap. I would then need the other project managers to create their respective project plans in project online. Then we could have a roadmap across projects. Sounds like a plan?

Hello meperlman ,
You are not missing anything, Roadmap doesn't not support any configuration options, it is a simple visualization tool to visualize projects (Project Online, Project for the Web and Azure Boards) with a row per project. Some blog posts that might help: https://pwmather.wordpress.com/2019/03/01/project-roadmap-cds-app-overview-ppm-projectmanagement-msproject-projectonline-office365-powerplatfom-dynamics365/

- I have had access to Microsoft Project Online for a while. I can see how to create a timeline across projects, but each row in the timeline is at the project level, not at the task level within the project. Separately, if I go into an individual project, I can create a timeline at the task level, but only for that one project. The only was I can see to view selected tasks across projects is to use the roadmap. But the roadmap has very limited ability to change color and format properly. Am I missing something? Also, I don't see any good guides or you tube videos on doing this. Any suggestions? Thank you.
