Microsoft Project ofrece licencias flexibles para soluciones online y locales para la gestión del portfolio de proyectos y el trabajo diario, lo que le permite ejecutar de manera efectiva y alcanzar prioridades estratégicas.
Los Cambios
Microsoft ha actualizado sus SKU para alinearse mejor con las convenciones de nomenclatura del plan Microsoft Office 365.
Decidieron desviarse del antiguo lema «Professional» y decidieron eliminar el SKU «Premium». En lugar de los que ahora tenemos:
¿Cuáles son los diferentes Planes de Microsoft Project?
Project Plan 3 (Professional)
Plan 3 reemplaza «Project Online Professional» y sigue siendo el plan para que los Gerentes de Proyecto mantengan los proyectos, recursos y equipos organizados y encaminados. El Plan 3 también incluye Project for the Web (Plan 1), Project Online y Project Online Desktop Client. Project Plan 3 incluye todas las capacidades del Project Plan 1 y más.
Project Plan 5 (Premium)
Plan 5 reemplaza «Project Online Premium» y está orientado a la Gestión de Portfolio, para permitir a las organizaciones priorizar las inversiones de portfolio de proyectos, asegurando la alineación estratégica y la asignación adecuada de recursos. El plan 5 incluye Project for the web, Project Online y Project Online desktop client. Project Plan 5 incluye todas las capacidades de Project Plan 3 y Project Plan 1.
Project Online Essentials
Al navegar a la página de comparación Project Plan en la web de Microsoft, puedes estar pensando que el «Plan 1» reemplaza a «Project Online Essentials» al plan del «team member», ¡pero no es así! Essentials ahora es una suscripción ateam member add-on para clientes que tienen suscripciones a Project Plan 3 o Project Plan 5. Proporciona a los miembros del equipo una interfaz web para realizar tareas y actualizaciones de tiempo para proyectos administrados en Project Online.

Project Plan 1 (Project for the Web)
Esta es una nueva solución de Project «reinventado» de Microsoft, esencialmente una solución híbrida que es un cruce entre Microsoft Planner y Microsoft Project, dirigida inicialmente a «Project Managers Accidentales» y completamente online.
