Project Pro for Office 365: The subscription-based version of Project Professional 2013. Project Server also has been available as a service from a handful of Microsoft hosting partners for some time now. This version requires SharePoint, which is sold separately. Project Server 2013: The on-premises PPM server. Available in Professional and Standard versions.
Project 2013: The full set of project-management capabilities on the desktop. Yep, there is now an Access Web App that is part of the Office 15/Office 2013 wave, too. Update: And Access, as blogger Roger Jennings noted. It complements the webified versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Lync. Project Web App: This is yet another member of the Office Web Apps family "It is for people who need to participate online from virtually anywhere on almost any device," a spokesperson said. Project Online: This is the Microsoft-hosted Project Portfolio Management (PPM) service. As usual, Microsoft's naming leaves a bit to be desired.): (I think this is a close-to-comprehensive list. Here's what the new Project family will look like with the coming wave. "It (the new Project) can also be deployed on-premises or a combination of both," a Microsoft spokesperson reminded me today. Project, Microsoft's project-management offering, will be available hosted in the cloud (Project Online) as part of Office 365 for businesses. With the coming Office 2013 rollout, Project Online becomes a full-fledged Office 365 member. (Real-time IMs inside of your project? Check.) And the hope is the interdependencies and integration among these services will encourage adoption of more of them. The thinking: Users could opt for as many or few of these Microsoft-hosted services as they wanted when creating their own particular cloud bundle.
There were strong hints a year ago that Microsoft planned to add Project (and Visio) to its Office 365 line-up, along with Dynamics CRM Online and Windows Intune. But with the coming Wave 15 version of Office 365, that list gets an addition: Project Online. Up until now, when rattling off the list of services that comprise Office 365, I always mentioned Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Lync Online (along with Office Web Apps, for good measure).
