Delivered through Office 365, Project Online enables organizations to get started quickly with powerful project management capabilities to plan, prioritize, and manage projects and project portfolio investments-from almost anywhere on almost any device. Add information about the risk, including as many details as you can. The Probability, Impact (which is a general score, in comparison with other risks), and Cost of the risk help the project manager understand the risk, at a glance.
-->Overview
Project Online is web-based, and is great for: Managing multiple projects. Tracking work on timesheets. Balancing broad resource needs. (If you're looking for a hosted version of Project Server, this is it!) |
To be clear, Project Online is NOT a web-based version of Project Professional. Project Online is an entirely separate service that offers full portfolio and project management tools on the web. It includes Project Web App, and can, depending on your subscription, also include Project Online Desktop Client, which is a subscription version of Project Professional.

Microsoft Project Plan 1 vs Plan 3 vs Plan 5
Microsoft revamped its Project line-up plans recently. Scrapping the Project Essentials plan, it has launched a new plan after combining some major features from Project Online Professional and Project Online Premium. The new plan is called as Project Plan 1. Similarly, Microsoft is renaming the Project Online Professional plan to “Project Plan 3” and Project Online Premium plan to “Project Plan 5.”
Microsoft’s plan naming policies get standardized on the lines of its Office 365 Enterprise plans: Enterprise E1, Enterprise E3, and Enterprise E5.
We distinguish the new Microsoft Project plans: Plan 1 vs Plan 3 vs Plan 5 in the comparison table below:

ALL OUR MICROSOFT PROJECT PLANS INCLUDE
Microsoft Project Plans– Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Project Online Essentials and Project Plan 1 same?
Categorically, no. Though it appears that Microsoft has just renamed its Project plans, which is true for Project Plan 3 and Plan 5, but Project Plan 1 is not exactly same as Project Online Essentials. Project Plan 1 has been redesigned after incorporating a few useful features from higher plans (Support for Gantt charts and pre-built reports), while some features from Project Online Essentials have been deprecated (Example: Submitting timesheets). Also, Project Online Essentials was priced at $7, while Project Plan 1 costs $10.
Do I need licenses for team members who just want to view and mark tasks as complete?
Though this is being worked upon, there will be a need for licenses. It can be converted into an extension as the product gradually evolves. As of now, licenses will be required. Keep checking this space for more.
