Project Online is approaching end-of-life. That's why we've created our migration package that gives you a solid plan. The session ensures you move the right data and make the switch in time to a Microsoft PPM solution that sets you up for growth.
Microsoft is retiring Project Online from September 30, 2026. After that, all the data and projects will disappear. Microsoft recommends moving to a modern PPM solution built on the Microsoft Power Platform, like Projectum xPM, going forward. There is no new innovation for Project Online and increasing operational risk the longer you stay.
Now’s the time to plan your move while you can control scope, timing, and cost.
No new features for Project Online
Growing platform risk over time
Migration lead times are increasing secure your window now
Microsoft Planner : Microsoft Planner is a great tool for basic work and task management and execution with a lightweight user interface. With Planner, you stay on the Microsoft Platform but you lose the deeper Project and Portfolio Management capabilities. If you are a big Project Online user, you will need a Portfolio Management solution, like Projectum xPM, on top.
Dynamics 365 Project Operations: This is suited for organizations that are looking for a wider enterprise solution, covering sales, finance, and billable projects. You stay on the Microsoft Stack, but the PPM qualities risk being drowned out in a large-scale solution implementation.
Microsoft Partner solution: Your best bet for a 1-1 Project online replacement is a solution like Projectum xPM. Here, you get a PPM Solution built on the Microsoft Power Platform that has the key functionalities you need, while still connecting and scaling with your organization. Projectum xPM works with Microsoft Project Desktop, as well as Jira, DevOps, and other project management tools
From my experience, Projectum xPM is a highly effective and reliable successor to Project Online for organizations working within Microsoft 365. Since Projectum xPM is built on the Power Platform, it offers the flexibility and agility needed to keep pace with a constantly evolving PMO environment.
"At the end of the day, it was actually the project managers that pointed to Projectum xPM. They could see the value of using it – and it was a lot easier than Project Online.”
Projectum xPM ensures a unified Portfolio Overview and simple access to company-wide portfolio reporting – using the best of the Microsoft platform.
The process of going from one solution to another is time-consuming, so we recommend you get started now!
