If we were starting from scratch though, we would definitely be considering something like Smartsheet or Wrike We have reached the limits of what MS Project can offer us in terms of actual PM functionality and are now exploring other solutions that are still based on top of the MS ecosystem but provide a 'layer' over all of these apps, given our existing usage and adoption of the MS ecosystem. Microsoft has Dynamics 365 Project Operations which provides some of this, but it's a separate product with its own licensing, doesn't integrate that seamlessly into the rest of the ecosystem as some of the other apps mentioned and is still pretty inadequate compared to other dedicated PM solutions. It works well for the small-medium projects that are run but starts to fall down when it comes to larger projects that need things like proper resource and capacity management or when trying to track and report at a program or portfolio level. A new project in MS Project will need to be assigned a MS365 Group and members of the group will inherit access to all the apps that have been linked (assuming they're appropriately licensed). We set up according to what the requestor has asked for (typically a PM) within their ticket. Reporting is then typically run out of Power BI. Members are added to the group as required and on setup of the group, linkages to all the other apps (Teams for collaboration, SharePoint for document management, Planner for task tracking) can be specified. It starts with MS365 groups, which can be used to represent a project, a business area, a team, etc. The org I work at is heavily invested in the MS ecosystem so I'm very familiar with all of these tools and how they work together. I don't know why MS does that rather than just make one really good planning app haha. All of the ToDo, List, Planner, etc tools are just variations of the same thing. It is another monthly fee, but I think it checks your boxes. What I would recommend you look into instead is (). If I was in your shoes, I would probably manage these projects using primarily OneNote, but it isn't really made for this and it isn't one-size-fits-all.

This file is again saved to my Teams site and I usually export it to PDF so people can view the schedule if they don't have teams.

I've also used MS Project for the Web which is decent for a lot of the stuff it sounds like you are trying to do, but it isn't a very powerful scheduling software so I typically use the full blown MS project. It let's me put check boxes for tasks to follow up on in meetings and it let's me create outlook flags which sync with outlook tasks (and I think MS ToDo which I don't use, but some people in my office do). I use OneNote for my day to day notes and tasks. It is mostly used for file sharing and to link key apps/information like my project OneNote notebook, schedule, financial data (typically in a private channel), etc. I use Teams to aggregate all important project info. on how best to set this up is greatly appreciated.Įdit: - why are almost all of the comments being hidden from my view? Is it the mention of a software that hides them? I'm hoping to utilize TEAMS as my company has doubled down on this, but struggle to find anybody who has effectively integrated all of this. Each project can have anywhere from 50-200 individual tasks that need to be completed and thus each PM has managed their own task lists, but their is no integration as it is all manual. are all managed in Excel in these subfolders. Project Gantts, budgets, individual task lists, etc.

I also struggle how to utilize all of the different applications in a clean manner (seems many applications have similar functions), so we've effectively manually tracked everything through a master project tracker (ExceL), individual folders for each project, and all details in the subfolders.
I've watched many Youtube videos, but all dashboards and teams seem to be too simplistic for my organization, or frankly, too cumbersome to continuously manage with many different PMs all wanting to do things their own way.
New to this forum, and found a decent amount of information on here, but I'm wondering if anybody has successfully set up Microsoft's tools to effectively manage many, highly-detailed projects.
