Microsoft Project/Planner

Microsoft Project is used for managing projects through the Microsoft 365 environment.

Both staff and students have access to Microsoft Project through the web version and the Teams extension called "Planner" which combines Planner, Project and To Do.

On Microsoft's webpage you can find advice on when to use these different versions of Project/Planner.

A standalone application is also available for Windows but users must be assigned access to it.

Access to the Microsoft Project application 

Students will only get a licence through their instructor for specific courses. Users can follow the instructions once they have been issued access.

Employess must contact their department managers and have them send in a purchase request.
