Microsoft Project for the Web (“Project Plan 1” license) is a modern and easy-to-use solution for planning and reporting projects. For use in a professional environment, however, some important functions are missing, even if it is combined with PPM for Power Apps Accelerator. For instance, these include:
This is where the package TPG ProjectPowerPack comes in. It adds these essential functions. This out-of-the-box solution is fully operational in a short time. As an alternative to Project for the Web, the solution can also be combined with TPG Scheduler, a powerful planning tool (which is not based on Microsoft technology but compatible with it).
What you get from this central TPG ProjectPowerPack solution
Available as an enhancement for Project for the Web or otherwise with TPG Scheduler.
TPG ProjectPowerPack provides users with a central point of entry with an overview of their own project requests and projects, as well as their personal open issues and risks. An overview of the most important key portfolio values complements the user’s own data.

TPG ProjectPowerPack was developed based on Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Dataverse (formerly CDS). This solution seamlessly integrates Microsoft Project for the Web for project planning and extends it with the following features:
Instead of Project for the Web, you can use TPG Scheduler as an alternative planning interface. This does not change the functionality of TPG ProjectPowerPack.
