Note: All Office 365 users will be able to view Projects/Roadmaps shared within Teams in a read-only mode. You can create a consolidated timeline view of projects from Microsoft Project and Azure Boards and plan larger initiatives across all of them - complete with key dates and milestones - so that all the work is visible. The Roadmap - Microsoft ProjectВ app will give you a cross-functional, big picture view of the work that is most important to you. If your group runs multiple projects at the same time and needs visibility across all the work being done, Roadmap provides a visual and interactive way to connect these projects and show their status in a transparent way across the organization. Y ou can do almost everything you can do in Project for the web experience such as the automated scheduling engine to set effort, duration, and resources from inside Teams. The Project app in Teams helps you tackle anything from small projects to large initiatives and is designed for just about any role, skill level, or project type. To stay on top of the ever-shifting requirements of our jobs, we need tools that are simple yet robust enough to support any requirement, flexible enough to support any project type, and, most importantly, easy enough to collaborate with anyone no matter where they are or what device they are using. Today, each one of us has become a project manager. Anyone who has access to that channel can also access that tab. The Project and Roadmap apps can be added as tabs in any channel by selecting the вЂњ+вЂќ icon at the top of a channel. Team members can create new projects or roadmaps, or open existing ones, in Microsoft Teams and keep communications within the context of work and collaboration within Office 365. This brings content and conversation side-by-side in one integrated experience. Connecting directly to Project from within Teams has been one of the major requests from Project users, and these apps will make it easy to manage, track, and collaborate on all aspects of a teamвЂ™s project in one place.

We are pleased to announce the release of the Project and Roadmap apps in Microsoft Teams.
