I want to be able to make tasks dependent on other tasks, and see them in a Gantt chart view.

Hi everyone,

We recently announced and rolled out the new Microsoft Project, which was designed specifically to help teams of all sizes collaborate on projects more efficiently and achieve more together. It was designed to be simple and powerful, so that anyone can get started quickly and take control of any project – regardless of its size – right away.

The new Microsoft Project has been redesigned. You can see your tasks on a Gantt chart (“Timeline”) view, a Board view (similar to Planner’s), and a Grid view, both requested from many of our Planner users. I encourage you to look at the links below and the attached GIF for a sneak peak.

With this, we also rolled out a new subscription plan called “Project Plan 1” that allows you to start quickly and manage projects easily via the web browser.

Thanks everyone for your patience, I encourage you to check out the new Project, and even start a trial to see if it’s right for you!

Best,
The Project and Planner team

As an update, we’re continuing to help the Project side of our team bring the functionality of a modern Gantt chart to life in a new project management service.

We’ll be announcing more about this new product, and how Planner will fit in, later this year.

More on that here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/25/a-new-vision-for-modern-work-management-with-microsoft-project/

Thanks,
The Planner Team

We agree that Plans often need a view of tasks ahead in order to communicate deadlines and status, and are working with our colleagues in Project to bring a solution to life for Projects and Plans of all shapes, sizes, and complexity.

As some of you may know, Project announced it’s vision for modern work management last fall, and as a part of the Project team we’re working together to bring this to life. Here’s more information on this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/25/a-new-vision-for-modern-work-management-with-microsoft-project/

We appreciate the feedback and patience here. We’ll update this thread with any news as soon as it’s available.

Cheers,
The Planner Team
