Can you work on Microsoft Project together?

September 4, 2024

Yes, you can work on Microsoft Project together with your team, especially with the integration into the new Planner app within Microsoft Teams. This integration allows for collaborative project management, enabling multiple users to work on projects simultaneously. 

Collaborative Features in Microsoft Project (New Planner)

Real-Time Collaboration: With the new Planner app, which includes features from Microsoft Project, multiple team members can collaborate on project tasks in real-time. Changes made by one person are visible to others instantly, ensuring everyone is on the same page. 

Task Assignment and Tracking: Team members can easily assign tasks to one another, set deadlines, and track progress. Updates to tasks are immediately reflected for the whole team, making collaboration seamless. 

Integration with Microsoft Teams: By accessing the new Planner app within Microsoft Teams, you can chat with your team, share files, and manage tasks all in one place. This integration enhances collaboration by centralizing communication and project management. 

Advanced Project Management: For teams that require advanced project management features, such as resource management, Gantt charts (Timeline view), and task dependencies, a paid Planner license (Plan 3 or Plan 5) is needed. These features allow for deeper collaboration on complex projects.
