Managing Large-Scale Project Data in Microsoft Project Online

Question

How do you handle performance issues when managing large-scale project data in Microsoft Project Online? I’ve noticed delays when updating tasks or resources in complex projects. Are there any best practices for optimizing performance, especially when dealing with multiple project dependencies? Also, I’m working on a related project at https://rockstarevents.me/ and would appreciate any tips.

Hi @Ahmed Muhammad

Teams tag is mainly focused on the general issue of Microsoft Teams troubleshooting. According to your description, your question is not in our support scope. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

The following suggestion is for your reference:

1. Configuration and Customization: Minimize unnecessary customizations, as too much customization may affect performance. In particular, pay attention to the choice of permission mode. Using SharePoint permission mode instead of Project permission mode can improve performance.
2. Resource Management: In the Resource Center, only display the resource requests you are interested in, rather than the requests for all resources. This can reduce page load time and timeout errors.
3. Project Detail Page (PDP) and Workflow: Simplify PDP and workflow, reduce the fields and custom code on the page, which can help improve loading speed.
4. OData and Reporting: Minimize the complexity of OData queries and avoid extracting large amounts of data at one time. Using tools such as Power BI for data analysis and reporting can improve efficiency.
5. Network Planning and Performance Tuning: Make sure your network configuration meets Microsoft 365 best practices, which includes optimizing bandwidth and reducing latency.
6. Event Handling: Reduce the number and complexity of event handlers to avoid triggering too many events when the project is updated.
