Project management environment

Project Online retires September 2026. The hard part isn't picking a tool — it's keeping the structure that runs underneath it.

Custom fields and MS Project settings

Contract numbers, clients, change requests — copy them as plain text and you lose the logic that made them useful. They need real mapping, not export-import.

Timesheets and effort tracking

Planner has no native time tracking. Other platforms do — but their model differs from Project Online's. The goal is one thing: project plan and actual hours stay consistent, whichever system you land on.

Project document storage

Documents in PWA SharePoint sites carry per-project permissions and folder structure. Move them flat and everyone sees everything — or nothing lands where it should.

Reporting and dashboards

The dashboards your executives rely on don't have to change. Project Online feeds them through OData today — the look stays, the data source underneath gets reconnected to the new platform.

Power Automate workflows

Approval chains — project initiation, change requests, closure — plus reminders and notifications run on triggers tied to Project Online. Those triggers disappear. The flows get rewritten on the new platform's events.

Custom forms

Forms built beyond native functionality have no equivalent in the destination platform. They get rebuilt — in PowerApps or the target system — matched to how your team actually uses them.

Slava was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and available. Our project didn't have clearly defined scope as we need to take an agile approach and implement incrementally. Slava fit in well with this to provide tremendous value.

Assessment

Everything above — plus how it connects into your wider ecosystem: CRM, finance systems, Office 365, executive dashboards, document templates, and the policies built around them. Deliverable: Migration scope document — what migrates, what gets rebuilt, what stays, and where it connects.

Target Architecture

For most Project Online environments, the right destination sits inside the Microsoft ecosystem — Planner Premium, Dataverse, Power Apps, SharePoint, Power BI, Power Automate, or a hybrid with Project Desktop / Project Server. Where your team already runs on a different platform (or would love to move to one) — Jira, ClickUp, Asana, Smartsheet, Monday — the assessment in Layer 1 determines whether that's the better path forward. Deliverable: Architecture proposal with platform decision rationale.

Data Migration

Transfer of projects, tasks, milestones, resources, metadata, documents, permissions, reporting structure — with full mapping logic. Deliverable: Migrated tenant with verified data integrity.

Reporting Rebuild

Project Online uses OData for Power BI. The new Project for the web / Planner Premium layer connects through Dataverse and Power Platform — your reports get rebuilt on the new model, not patched. Deliverable: Rebuilt dashboards, validated against the old reporting logic.

Automation and Governance

Approval workflows — project initiation, change requests, closure — plus reminders, status flows, notifications, dashboards, document links, and permissions, restored in the new environment. Deliverable: Working workflows on Power Automate against new triggers.

Training and Adoption

PMO, project managers, and executives continue working — not handed "a new tool without the old logic". Deliverable: Training session + documentation package + 30-day handover support.

Cutover and Decommissioning

Controlled switch to the new system before September 30, 2026. PWA backup in a format that remains accessible after retirement. Deliverable: Cutover sign-off + archived PWA data + decommissioned tenant.

Ongoing Partnership

You're not left alone with the new system. The transition from Project Online is one part — staying with you as the platform evolves, adapts, and grows is the other. Deliverable: Continuous improvement under a defined engagement model.

Before anything else:

Stop registering new projects in Project Online. Today.

Every project you add now is one more thing to extract, clean, and migrate later.


Create the urgency now, while you still have control.
