Integration
Microsoft Project status check-ins
Keep your MPP schedule as the source of truth; PingCadence runs the check-ins from an XML or Excel export.
Watch the setup · 2:59
Save your schedule as XML, Excel or CSV, import it with its baseline, choose who gets asked, and run check-ins on real work — not summary tasks.
How it connects
In Project, File → Save As → XML Format and upload the file. PingCadence reads the task hierarchy (asking about leaf tasks, not rollups), resources and their email addresses, start/finish, % complete and your saved baseline. Excel export (Task_Table + Assignment_Table) and Project for the web exports work too. Re-upload to refresh.
What PingCadence reads
Tasks, resources and emails, start and finish, % complete, saved baseline.
Applying date changes
When a task owner proposes new dates, you review them in PingCadence and update your plan yourself. Re-import to refresh dates.
