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/ProjectOrPlannerAn Example Microsoft Flow for Risk to Issue Escalation in Project Online

Hi All, Not sure if anyone else has come across this yet seems to be a new "Feature" few users have raised a issue where they can't open project files by clicking on the file and opening it, you get the project splash screen and it just stays like that indefinitely The users are open the files from a OneDrive sync and its not a isolated issue 3 people have reported the exact same issue, the workaround I have found at the moment is launching Project by its self and opening the documents from within Project The Project version effected is: 16.0.17126.20132 Hoping this is just a broken MS update that can be patched out sooner rather than later.
Project accelerator deploy error
I need help with an error that occurs in the deployment of Project accelerator. The error is as follows: "Flow client error returned with status code "BadRequest" and details "{"error":{"code":"InvalidOpenApiFlow","message":" Flow saving failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'item' validation failed in workflow operation 'Create_a_new_record': The API operation 'CreateRecord' is missing required property 'item/msdyn_dayspermonth'.'."}} ". After the error occurs, reloading the page informs that the accelerator was implemented successfully. When working on the Accelerator we get an incomplete deploy, missing some features like "project suggestions" or some tab names, like the picture: Also we cannot edit the form, with the following message: This form is in a managed solution and cannot be editedProject 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?
