Enable the use of MS project for web as an alternative to the built in project tool

MS project for web is a simple project- and task management tool that many are going to use. Upchain will never be the primary project planning tool unless significant effort is made. Hence one should focus on integration with MS project for web rather than reinvent the wheel. Over time, it would easily integrate into teams and other web-based platforms used in an organization.

We are looking at how to integrate properly with MS Project. Some of the challenges include supporting multiple versions of MS Projects (across platforms) and providing a robust tool for importing data from MS Project. In the case of the latter, we want to ensure that the application can handle custom fields gracefully - such as allowing you to choose what custom fields map to in the application, what to do with ignored data (especially if they relate to some other field that gets imported) and providing tools to handle duplicates gracefully.

 

That being said, there is a good use case for supporting popular project management tools and it is something we will continue to evaluate moving forward.

Just go with Ms project for web. The other versions are being discontinued.
