Answer 1

Hi @Bryan Lahr,
Thank you for posting your question to Microsoft Q&A Forum.
I'd love to clarify some confusion around Microsoft Projects plan. Typically, Microsoft Project is not included in standard Microsoft 365 licenses. Only Microsoft Planner is included in your Microsoft 365.

You can find this information via this link: Compare All Planner Options and Prices | Microsoft Planner and Microsoft Planner for admins - Microsoft Planner | Microsoft Learn

Planner in Microsoft 365 users can create basic plans and have access to four unique views: Grid, Board, Schedule, and Charts. A Project Plan 1 is required to create premium plans and access additional views, such as Timeline, People, and Goals. If you have a Planner and Project Plan 3 or Planner and Project Plan 5 license, then you have access to the advanced capabilities with premium plans in Planner. Advanced features include report creation, Timeline (Gantt) view, dependencies, sprints, custom fields, team workload, and managing goals. For more information, see Advanced capabilities with premium plans in Planner.

Once you have purchased Plan 1, Plan 3, or Plan 5, the license needs to be assigned to the user account before the functionality becomes available.

You can access to Microsoft Planner via Planner. This is also the new link once Microsoft Project on the web is retired.

I hope this provides enough clarity and helps you stay inform with your current situation.

Thank you for your patience and your understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

To access Microsoft Project through your Microsoft 365 accounts, you need to ensure that you have the appropriate subscription. Here are the key points to consider:

1. Subscription Type: Microsoft Project Online is available only to specific subscription levels of Microsoft 365, including Office 365 Enterprise, Government, or Academic accounts. You can check if your account supports Project Online by visiting the Purchase Services page in the Microsoft admin center.
2. Adding Project Online: If your account supports it, you can add Project Online by logging into your Office 365 account, navigating to the Microsoft 365 admin center, selecting Purchase Services, and then choosing to add the Project Online plan that suits your needs.
3. Basic Edit Access: If you have a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription, you may have basic edit access to projects shared with you, but to create projects or roadmaps, you will need to purchase the appropriate Project subscription.

Make sure to verify your subscription type and follow the steps to add Project Online if eligible.
