What happened to the options creating, editing and viewing the PWA in project server 2016?  Below is a screen shot of creating a project web app instance in SharePoint 2013.

What this now means is that the easy to use menu driving procedure of creating and managing PWA instances is now history.   PowerShell is the way it is done now.   I really like PowerShell, but really wish Microsoft would keep some of the menu options. Rumor is that everything is going the way of PowerShell.

Here are a few PowerShell scripts that provides the same functions as before:
