What Project Plan 3 does
Project Plan 3 combines Project for the web, Project Online, and the Project desktop client, offering a more complete project management experience than the entry-level Plan 1. It provides task management, scheduling, resource allocation, and reporting capabilities. Unlike Plan 5, it doesn't include advanced portfolio management features, but it represents a balance of functionality and cost for many teams. It’s designed for users who need both online accessibility and the power of the desktop application.
Project Plan 3 in Australian tenants today
Within the AU mid-market, Project Plan 3 is frequently selected as the standard option for project managers, particularly those managing complex or resource-intensive projects. As Microsoft continues to evolve the Planner Premium experience, AU organisations are evaluating migration paths to leverage its enhanced features. Careful consideration of existing workflows and data dependencies is essential before any migration to ensure business continuity and compliance with data handling obligations under the Privacy Act 2024.
