With Power Automate you can: Send reminders for overdue tasks in Project for the Web. Or reminders for just about anything else for that matter! Automate all sorts of business processes: Like taking an attachment from an incoming email and placing in a folder based on document attributes. Or facilitate an approval process for a project request, or a document. The list of business processes that may be automated in mind-boggling. Moving data between systems: Building processes that push/pull information from different systems is another huge benefit. With the over 300 available data sources, the possibilities are endless. Even processes on your local computer may be automated. Such as updating files and sending documents to folders from email messages. What types of Flows may be created?

(Think Office 365 and a browser). Project for the Web is being built to fill the gap between two current project management products from Microsoft; Project Online and Planner. This new, browser only product is not nearly as powerful as MS Project desktop or Project Online, in that it easily facilitates the management of large, complex projects. Actually, it's not meant to be. Project for the Web is project management redefined. The product is being built to handle the most requested features for project management and is expected to meet a large percentage of the project management needs of today. This is modern project management Microsoft Project for the Web offers a range of functionality that will be built upon over the coming years. Most of which by customer feedback. Microsoft will provide more information about a migration path from Project Online to Project for the Web in the future.

Modern views provide for a timeline (think Gantt chart), Board view (think Kanban) and grid view. Simple resource management is facilitated by Office 365 groups.
