The new Microsoft Project rolls out to customers worldwide
<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/the-new-microsoft-project-rolls-out-to-customers-worldwide.gif" width="750" height="525" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>With Microsoft 365, the world’s productivity cloud, we’re using the power of the cloud to help people and organizations achieve more. Last year, we shared <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/25/a-new-vision-for-modern-work-management-with-microsoft-project/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our new vision</a> for work management designed specifically to help teams collaborate on projects more efficiently and achieve more together. Today, we’re announcing a major step toward achieving this vision with the general availability of the new Microsoft Project along with <a href="https://products.office.com/project/simple-project-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a new subscription plan</a>!</p>
<p>Collaborating in teams and projects has become an integral part of our work experience. Businesses increasingly rely on project teams to advance strategic initiatives, drive change, and solve tough problems. But keeping projects on track isn’t easy, especially when teams are working on multiple workstreams to achieve aggressive goals on tight deadlines.</p>
<p>The new Project is designed to be both simple and powerful, so anyone can get started quickly and take control of any project right away.</p>
<h3>A fresh new experience</h3>
<p>Project offers a redesigned user experience that is simple and intuitive. Teams can quickly add new members and set up tasks, and then easily switch between grids, boards, or timeline (Gantt) charts to track progress. And because Project is part of the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Microsoft 365</a> family, project teams can save time and do more with built-in connections to familiar apps like Microsoft Teams and Office.</p>

<h3>Collaboration made easy</h3>
<p>Designed to do much more than just track progress, Project works with Teams to support collaboration and make it easy to manage all aspects of a team project, including file sharing, chats, meetings, and much more. Team members in scattered locations can even edit tasks simultaneously, so they can get more done together, no matter where they are. To help teams stay on track, Project offers an automated scheduling engine based on effort, duration, and resources.</p>

<h3>Extensible platform</h3>
<p>Built on the Microsoft Power Platform, Project enables you to quickly connect to the apps and services you already use, and to create custom desktop and mobile experiences to meet the specific needs of every project team. Easy to use tools make it simple to create automated workflow processes that streamlines compliance and increases efficiency. Do all this and more with the confidence that comes with knowing you are building on the powerful security and compliance capabilities of Azure—the world’s most trusted enterprise cloud.</p>
<h3>Introducing a new Microsoft Project plan for all users</h3>
<p>As part of this launch, we’re also excited to announce a new subscription plan: Project Plan 1.</p>
<p>Project Plan 1 is for teams that need the essential capabilities of managing task-oriented projects like assigning tasks and dependencies and scheduling and tracking project work using lists, boards, and timelines. At just $10 per user per month, this subscription is an ideal way to get started with Project.</p>
<p>Project Plan 1 joins our current <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109529" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">subscription offerings</a>, Project Online Professional and Project Online Premium, now renamed to Project Plan 3 and Project Plan 5 respectively. Customers using Project Online can continue to do so with confidence knowing that we’re committed to your success no matter which Project service you choose.</p>
<p>The rollout of the new Project began in mid-October. If you already have a Project subscription plan, you should receive a notification inviting you to try the new Project experience. If you don’t have a Project subscription yet, we invite you to either <a href="https://products.office.com/project/simple-project-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">learn more</a> or <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109530" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">try out Project Plan 1</a> today!*</p>
<h3>What’s next?</h3>
<p>Looking forward, we will release more exciting capabilities in the new Project, including resource management, budget analysis, and time and expense tracking. These powerful features will enable you to streamline more complex initiatives and help your business maximize ROI.</p>
<p>As we continue to innovate with the new Project, we rely on customers, like you, to help shape the direction of future releases.

<h3>Frequently asked questions</h3>
