Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project Online desktop client is a project management program with automated scheduling, project resource management, and built-in reporting. The Project Online desktop client can be used as a standalone application or connected to a Project-enabled SharePoint Online site (additional setup fees will apply). You do not need a Project-enabled SharePoint Online site to utilize the Project Online desktop client.

Before Purchasing Project Online Licenses
UW-IT advises that only organizations that have staffing resources with expertise in Project Desktop and Project Server and have tightly controlled project management processes should use legacy Project Online. Organizations should carefully review Microsoft’s guide Project Online Admin Documentation to understand the configuration and the long term maintenance work required to sustain this product. Specifically, Microsoft’s document Change permission management in Project Online is important to review as selecting the wrong permissions model has posed a significant challenge for some organizations. Please also review the Microsoft Project service description guide as there are Project Online site configurations that require at least one account with a Project Plan 5 license.
Planner, a lightweight task management system
In some cases, a less robust option is the better way to manage tasks for projects. Microsoft Planner is a low-overhead alternative to Project Online that allows organizations to get up and running quickly with managing projects. For more information on Microsoft Planner, please see the UW Office 365 page for Planner.
How to Get Microsoft Project
Students may be able to download the Project desktop application through Azure for Education.
For faculty and staff, there are two types of Project Online licenses that we offer: Plan 3 and Plan 5. For a comparison of the features in each Project Plan, visit: Compare project management solutions and costs.
Microsoft Project licenses are offered to UW departments on an annual contract basis running from June 1 to May 31 in alignment with our Microsoft contract, and include no service or support for the product itself. Therefore, the cost is not prorated when purchased midway through the contract year.
