How is Microsoft Project Online like Fortnite?

How is Microsoft Project Online like Fortnite? It’s not. Simple as that.

But, hey, I’ve been stuck at home and my son’s been bugging me to get him set up on Fortnite, so I thought I'd try to learn a bit about it.

LET’S COMPARE …
1) Fortnite is an online application. Microsoft Project Online is also an online application.
2) Fortnite is a game. Microsoft Project Online is a project and portfolio management business collaboration application.
3) Fortnite was released in 2017. Microsoft Project started back in the 80s and has matured into a full featured PPM system.
4) Fortnite is a first-person shooter survival game. Microsoft Project is a survival tool for project and program managers, project executives, and project team members.
5) Fortnite has entertained more than 200 million players, and might just be the most popular game in the world. Microsoft Project is the world’s most popular project and portfolio management system, with more than 20 million users at more than 15,000 companies worldwide.
6) Fortnite is free and has three distinct game modes. You can buy things in the game with V-Bucks that you buy with real money. Microsoft Project has 5 ways it can be licensed: as the traditional Microsoft Project Professional, Project Server, Project Online, Project Essentials, and the new Project for the Web. Western Principles can help you figure out which Microsoft Project licenses you need.
7) The goal in Fortnite is to hunt down and kill your opponents and to be the final survivor on the island. The goal of a project is to collaborate together to build something – and Microsoft Project Online is perfectly suited to project, process, and document collaboration on things like assignments and updates, risks and issues, and document reviews and approvals.
8) In Fortnite, players can build structures and traps. With Microsoft Project Online, teams can collaborate together to build pretty much anything.
9) Fortnite has online chat amongst players that is often used to taunt opponents. Microsoft Project Online uses the power of Microsoft Presence and chat or voice and video calls through Teams to collaborate together.
10) Fortnite is rated “T” and not recommended for kids under 12 and under. (Sorry Son…) Microsoft Project is a business application that should be used by anyone who is planning and running a project of any size or complexity.
11) You can pull-off a variety of dance moves while you’re playing Fortnight. With Microsoft Project you can celebrate successful project completion.
