You do not need a Project-enabled SharePoint Online site to utilize the Project Online desktop client.
Before Purchasing Microsoft Project Subscriptions
UW-IT advises that only organizations with staffing resources with expertise in Project Desktop and Project Server and tightly controlled project management processes should use legacy Project Online. Organizations should carefully review Microsoft’s guide Project Online Admin Documentation to understand the configuration and the long-term maintenance work required to sustain this product. Specifically, Microsoft’s document Change Permission Management in Project Online is essential to review, as selecting the wrong permissions model has posed a significant challenge for some organizations. Please also check the Microsoft Project service description guide, as Project Online site configurations require at least one account with a Project Plan 5 license.
Planner, a lightweight task management system
In some cases, a less robust option is the better way to manage tasks for projects. Microsoft Planner is a low-overhead alternative to Project Online that allows organizations to get up and running quickly with managing projects. For more information on Microsoft Planner, please see the UW Office 365 page for Planner.
