How to get WBS codes from MS Project sync to MS SharePoint Lists
Hi, Can anyone help me with getting the WBS codes from MS Project sync to MS SharePoint Lists. I have connected my .mpp file from MS Project save as sync to SharePoint and created a custom list for the project after verifying the site. Once synced, I am able to view the new list with the name created but could not get WBS codes as part of the import. Any help in achieving it. Thanks, Vijay Marupudi
Teams and sharepoint for project collaboration
Hi, We are trying to figure out how to combine teams and sharepoint for better project collaboration and always found some incovenients to solve the whole puzzle. The bussiness case is very common: Departments work in projects with other departments or/and external people. People from the same department needs read access to their department projects documents even if they didn't participate (in order to share knowledge) and 1..N externals can potentially access to project data. With old way (sharing folders) all looked like more easy and now with a set of tools made to collaborate it seems too difficult to find a way We have tested several scenarios but none works. One team for project has some cons; lot of teams and in order to allow access to information to non project members IT has to go to every project site to share with departmental groups. IT support needed in order to create teams as we have restricted policy Team with private channel has the cons; only 30 channels permitted, you have to be very carefully adding members teams and then carefully adding members to channels Departmental Team with shared channels has been the best approach as you can share the channel with a kind of master departmental teams and brings a consolidate visibility on all department project, but it has a mega big cons, only MS Orgs are allowed as externals (???) and it makes it practically useless Now we are thinking in other approaches like having a sharepoint site for all departmental projects or a site for all projects and playing with the permissions leaving teams only for easy and fast collaboration. This approach has the cons we have to think carefully on folder/sites architecture, limits and permissions and a major Administration effort Is there any MS best practice or recommendation for these scenarios?

I have a Microsoft project 2016 file. I sync this file back to a SharePoint list. To begin my daily process, I always begin by going to my SharePoint list in browser(internet explorer), and click on "Open with project". This opens the sharepoint list in my local copy of Project. I then make any required bulk edits in my mpp, and save it. This triggers a sync back to SharePoint. It works correctly a number of times, but sometimes when I hit save in my mpp, get error : Sorry, we couldn’t sync the tasks list to the SharePoint site. Please make sure that: The SharePoint site is running and is not in read-only mode you have sufficient privileges to sync to this SharePoint site The tasks list is still available and its name hasn't changed None of the above apply to me, and I am not sure why sometimes my mpp just fails to sync. This is specially a big frustration, when I just finishing spending an hour with lots of changes, and then mpp fails to sync and I have to throw away all the edits. I also think this error is coming up more and more frequencty over the weeks. Till date, I have tried a lot of possible solutions, but non worked. I tried opening from different browser, clearing my cache, opening the mpp directly from site assets, checking the file out to me etc. Please help as this is affecting the productivity of our org.
