Unlike other Dynamics 365 Trial instances sign up process which is from https://trials.dynamics.com/, Project Operations are requested and provisioned in a different way as of early 2021.
Let me walk you through how you can provision a Dynamics 365 Project Operations Trial (Lite Deployment) on a brand new instance/tenant.
Selecting a Deployment Type
Here are Microsoft Docs links to help you understand the different Deployment types – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/project-operations/environment/determine-deployment-type?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5003911
To summarize –
Project Operations Lite Deployment is the CE only deployment meaning it does not connect to Finance & Operations for the full-fledged stocked/non-stocked scenarios talked about in the above MS Docs.

Provisioning
It takes about 2-3 days for the Email to appear in your Mailbox.
- Below is how it looks like.
- There are 3 links in the Email. You’ll need to provision for the below 2 links –
- Office 365 Project Operations – Preview [Required]
- Dynamics 365 Project Operations (CRM) – Trial [Required]
- Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Trial
Process
I’ve created a YouTube video to summarize Sign Up and Provisioning of the Project Operations Lite deployment
