The future of project management is built on the new Project for the web. More details to be presented at this years Ignite 2019 at Orlando Florida’s Orange County Convention Center. Over ten sessions are slated for this years conference.
Microsoft has release a new version of Project Online called Project Web. The user interfaces is simpler and integrates with many of online projects, such as Power Apps, Power Bi, Office 365, Dynamics and other tools using Common data Service (CDS) for apps.

The real name of this product is Project for the web, not Project Web. In spite of all of the hype, I cannot imagine how this product could replace Microsoft Project and Project Online. I think Project for the web would be fine for people who are not full-time project managers and who need to manage small and simple projects. But I cannot imagine any way in the world that you could manage a medium or large complex project with this new tool.
