MS Project Online is being retired. For years, it has been a go-to tool for project and portfolio management. But with Microsoft shifting its focus toward Project for the Web and Power Platform, many organizations are left asking: What comes next?
Teams are already weighing their options, from adopting new platforms to rethinking their entire planning process. The decisions made now will determine whether the transition is a smooth upgrade or a scramble to keep projects on track.
MS Project Online was never built to handle today’s pace of change, and most static replacements are not either. And no matter which path you choose, there will always be costs in data migration, integrations, and adoption, so it pays to ensure the outcome is worth it.
At Winmill PPM, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all replacement. Instead, we help organizations chart the right course based on their goals, constraints, and culture.
Through our partnerships with Broadcom, Planview, Smartsheet, and aangine, we bring together:
Since every migration requires investment of time, resources, and change management, the real question is whether you want to spend that effort just to recreate yesterday’s capabilities or use it to come out stronger with modern planning and foresight.
This is not just a migration. It is an opportunity to modernize the way your organization plans and delivers.
Anyone can help you migrate. Winmill PPM helps you modernize, as we bring both leading PPM platforms and a strategic planning layer through aangine. Some organizations opt to migrate to new platforms, while others seek to maximize the benefits of the tools they already use. aangine is not tied to any one system, so it can add foresight and adaptability in either scenario.
By layering that foresight on top of delivery tools, leaders can model scenarios before making decisions, see the impact of shifting priorities on resources and timelines, and continuously adapt as demand and capacity change. That way, the transition becomes a chance to build resilience and smarter ways of working, not just a system change.
Support for MS Project Online is winding down, with SharePoint workflows set to retire in 2026 and the full shutdown to follow soon after. The earlier you act, the smoother your transition will be and the less risk you face of disruption and rushed decisions.
Now is the moment to plan smarter, not just swap tools.
