Project Plan for Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint

Users who create or edit large project plans (i.e. plans with 11+ items) need a license. Significant volume discount of up to 30% is granted when multiple user licenses are purchased in a bundle. A licensed user can create / edit an unlimited number of project plans across teams/channels in Microsoft Teams, PowerPoint and Excel. Unlicensed / free users can always view the project plans in read-only mode.

After purchasing one or more user licenses, you will receive one license key which can be activated by the number of users you purchased. Please pass the license key on to those users who should receive a license. The person who buys the license does not have to use the license personally, but can also pass the license key on to another person.

Sure! Check out our Tutorial Videos, to see Project Plan in action.

The free tier allows you to test Project Plan as long as you need. Only limitation: You can’t create or edit plans with 11+ items and there’s no write protection. To create and manage larger project plans, we ask you to purchase a license.

No, all licensed users can create as many plans as needed across different teams and channels in Microsoft Teams and across PowerPoint, Excel and more. The number of plans is not limited.

A license is required for each user who creates or edits larger project plans. Example: If you have 3 users that create project plans and edit tasks and a team of 10 users who view plans in read-only mode, we ask you to purchase a license with 3 users. Note: You will get up to 30% volume discount for multi user licenses.

You can add users/seats to your existing license using this link.
Alternatively, you can purchase a separate license key through our online-checkout.

Yes, of course. Even free and paid users can collaborate. If the project plan size exceeds 10 items, the free users can still view the same plan in read-only mode.

No, if you add Project Plan to a channel in Microsoft Teams, every member of the team will have access to the app automatically. In PowerPoint and Excel, a message will appear to install the add-in on the fly if you share documents with other people.

In some organizations, the IT department or IT admin restrict access to apps in Microsoft Teams. In this case, the project plan tab will not be visible for users, until an IT admin from your organizations approves the app for these (or all) users.

To double check if this is the issue, you can ask the affected user to open the app page in Microsoft Teams:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/53f350f4-d561-48d3-86e4-db683ebffe2f
If it shows Request approval, the app is not yet approved by your IT admin.

Here is a guide from Microsoft for your IT admin, how to approve apps:

Yes, each user license can be transferred to another person, max. two times per year.

For Microsoft Teams (multiple user license): The user account who purchased the license ('License Manager') and the user account who activated the license first ('Secondary License Manager') can assign and revoke user licenses centrally from within Microsoft Teams. Please open the Project Plan app in Microsoft Teams, go to the top right corner menu and press 'License Manager' (license key has to be activated to see this option). These two user accounts see an additional button 'Assign licenses...' which allows them to assign and revoke user licenses. In some environment where the Microsoft single-sign-on requires admin approval, you can alternatively forward your license key to the new user for manual activation.

For Microsoft Teams (single user license): Open the Project Plan app in Microsoft Teams, go to the top right corner menu and press 'License Manager' (your license key has to be activated to see this option). Please press the 'Remove License' button on the top right corner in the license manager to free your user license. Afterwards, the new user can activate the same license key again.

For PowerPoint/Excel: Please forward your license key to the new user for activation and follow the activation process.
