Microsoft has officially announced that Project Online will be fully retired by September 2026. Yet, in conversations with various leaders across industries, a striking trend has emerged: many organizations have either delayed planning their migration or falsely believe Planner, Project for the Web, or moving back to Project Server will fully replace the capabilities they rely on today.
The retirement of Project Online carries more than just technical implications. PMO leaders, project managers, and operational stakeholders are often the ones navigating the consequences, and being better equipped to understand the unique risks your organization will face puts you in a stronger position to advise, influence, and prepare for the future.
In this session, we’ll unpack what’s truly at stake, from data loss and tool fragmentation to weakened strategic alignment, and why standing still instead of moving to a better PPM future state could prove more costly than making a move. You’ll also get a practical readiness checklist and key talking points to help you lead informed conversations and advocate for the right next steps. Join us to understand what this change really means and how to prepare your organization for what comes next.
