Hi,
I have Microsoft Lync 2013 and Microsoft Project 2013.
Can anyone send me the steps to integrate these two so that i can get the updates from the team members without leaving Microsoft Project?

Hi, if you are using Project Pro 2013, then Lync is enabled by typing in a user's email address within the resource. The lync button next to the resource name will then show their lync status, and you can click on the resource to open the lync dialogue box. I'm not sure of the behaviour of Project Standard.

The integration with Lync is not supported in Project Standard only in Pro & Web App:
