Hi,
Brand new to the community. This will be my first posting. Trying to understand the transitions I perceive occurring in the SharePoint/Project Server, O365 and Azure space.
First, Project Web App versus O365 Planner – are they targeted at different user groups?  As I understand it, PWA comes with SharePoint/Project Server while O365 Planner comes with O365 subscription. I haven’t had a chance to play with either; are the two tools similar in functionality, purpose?
On Prem vs the cloud – we (City of Portland, OR) have O365. I’m leading a project to implement a SP site in the PMO. Usual objectives (collaboration, task lists, content mgmt., resources, stakeholder mgmt., workflow, forms, etc). I’m comparing hosted (basically on-prem but on somebody else’s prem) with O365/Azure and trying to understand what’s the same, what’s different in terms of functionality. I’m not see a lot but maybe there’s a lot I’m not seeing. For the basics, is there much functionality difference between on-prem and cloud-based SP/PS 2016?
Microsoft Office Project Server is a project management server solution made by Microsoft since 2000. It uses Microsoft SharePoint as its foundation and supports interface from either Microsoft Project (Professional edition) as a client application or by web browser connecting to its Project Web App (PWA) component.
