Yes, Microsoft Project can be used for agile project management. Since Microsoft Project is now integrated into the new Planner app, it offers specific templates for agile project management, which are available in Project Plan 3 or higher. These templates include features like Kanban boards that allow you to track sprints, manage backlogs, and visualize workflow, making it well-suited for agile methodologies.
Using Microsoft Project for Agile Project Management
