Project 2016

Project Server 2016

As you know, Project Server 2016 is actually a service application on SharePoint Server 2016.
Which means if you want Project Server 2016, you must have SharePoint 2016 first.
But if you have SharePoint 2016 farm, it’s much easier to get Project 2016. Moreover, once you build robust, scalable and high-available SharePoint, you get the same to you Project “for free”.
NB: Project is licensed separately.
