Which tool when: Project or Planner?
There's a reasonably new project management tool in play. When should you use Microsoft Project versus the newer Microsoft Planner? There are pros and cons to both and it's important you know them before getting started. That, and proponents of Project may be going overkill now that there's a user-friendly 'competitor'. Here's some guidance to help you along the way. Hopefully you find this info useful! https://icsh.pt/ProjectOrPlannerWhat Users Struggle to Understand about Project
I frequently get asked for training on Project, but I find it's difficult to help users really understand Project. Not just what it does, but how to set up their projects the right way. I'm wondering what you find are the must know ideas to get the most out of Project.Project licenses getting too expensive? Try syncing Project with SharePoint

Sick of exporting PDFs just so your team and leadership can see your project status? Turns out you can two-way-sync an MPP with a simple SharePoint Task List. Everyone with SharePoint access can then see and even update the MPP through SharePoint — no Project licenses required other than the project manager, plus a simpler interface than learning Project. Check out this blog series on how best to sync MPPs to SharePoint, how to customize the setup, and how to use the new solution on a day-to-day basis among your team. This can save you a bunch of time, hassle, and money.
PWA missing from our SharePoint Online tenant
We have 26 "Project for Office 365" licenses which I believe are now called Project Online Professional. We are supposed to have a PWA option within SharePoint online to setup and direct our Projects to be stored in the cloud plus setting up shared enterprise fields like resources etc. I am the SharePoint Admin yet I don't see this PWA anywhere on our tenants. If I click on New > I only have Private Site Collection and nothing about PWA. I also cannot configure an existing site collection to use it as it's just not there. We own this software and subscribe to it, so how do we simply setup a "SharePoint Server" online to host all of our project data?
