Is Microsoft Project free in Teams?

September 4, 2024

No, Microsoft Project is not free in Teams. However, it has been integrated into the new Planner app within Microsoft Teams. This new Planner app combines features from the original Microsoft Project, Planner, and To-Do, providing a unified experience for managing tasks and projects. 

Accessing Microsoft Project in the New Planner App

Basic Features with Planner: Within Microsoft Teams, you can use the Planner app for basic task management, which is included with most Microsoft 365 subscriptions. This includes creating tasks, assigning them to team members, and viewing them in various formats, like boards and lists. 

Advanced Features from Microsoft Project: The advanced project management capabilities of Microsoft Project, such as detailed project scheduling, resource management, and Gantt charts (now called the Timeline view), are being rolled out in the new Planner app. To access these features, you will need to subscribe to one of the Microsoft Project plans, such as Project Plan 3 or Project Plan 5.
