Collaboration in MS Project
I work for a small but growing manufacturing company that uses MS Project Professional to manage a few hundred "micro-projects" that all compete for resources, etc., at any one time. All the micro-projects are managed in one project file. As the company grows and matures, we are seeing a need to have 3-4 people actively working in the Project file at any one time, as well as an additional 5-6 internal customers that need read-only access to the project data. Is there a collaboration option in MS Project Professional? I don't think so, but would be very happy to be corrected. If not, what are the recommended MS Project versions to allow this level of collaboration? Are the third-party add-ons that can solve this problem? If so, which are recommended? Thank you!

Are there any options for using the SharePoint modern UI with Project Online? It would be nice to be able to utilize a modern page 1) on the PWA landing page, and 2) on the home page for each of the project sites. Has anybody done this yet? And if so, are there any caveats or tricks to make it work properly with the project site template, etc.?MS Project Online - Providing Viewer Access for those without a License
Hello. My team has MS Project for the Web - Plan 3. We are a PMO. Our PMO Team have licenses, but most of our stakeholders do not. We do want to give them access to our online project plans. We have gone through the "User Group" settings and made our stakeholders members of groups like "Project XYZ Visitors," "Project XYZ Members," etc. But... when we provide a link to project plans, our stakeholders get error messages that say they cannot access or view (see below). These Users are not external. They all are internal to our org and have Office 365. Simply making them members of "User Groups" within the PWA isn't enough. Any ideas are appreciated. We don't want to have to give everyone a MS Project license if they don't need one.
Microsoft Project Online REST API
Hello community, I need to retrieve projects and their details and create projects and tasks from https://project.microsoft.com/ (Project Online) using a REST API. I searched everywhere online and couldn't find any documentation or SDK to do it. Is there any documentation for a REST API to interact with https://project.microsoft.com/?

Hi All, I just joined last week - Thanks Lana at the Toronto Tech Summit I am setting up a schedule for a 24/7 job so there is: Day shift 8 am till 4 pm Even shift 4 pm to Midnight Night shift Midnight to 8 am So I have all these calendars set up with correct resources etc. and at the start of the task all is good 8 h Day shift,8 h Eveningshift and then8 h nightshift, BUT near the end of the task it does not assign a full 8 hours to the Day shift and in fact carries on with a full 8 h night shift and does not assign the evening shift any hours. I make the tasks Fixed Work so the total hours do not change So most the schedule is good just near the end of the task does not seam to assign in a chronological order Any suggesions are welcome Thanks Bert
Project Not Launching
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.Print with Microsoft Project to A0 format
Hello, A customer from me has the issue, that he cannot print with microsoft Project on the A0 format. When he wants to have it printed, he has to save it first with 'Print to PDF', and after that, send it with another tool to the printer, to print it at A0 format. He is using Microsoft Professional Project 2016 1. Is it true that Microsoft Project Cannot print on A0 with a real printer? 2. Is there a Microsoft Project version, where this is changed/solved? Thank you in advance, Yours sincerely, Pieter de Visser
