Frequently Asked Question
1. What is the timeline and impact of the Microsoft Project Online retirement?
Microsoft Project Online retires on September 30, 2026. New-customer sales ended October 1, 2025, and new tenants cannot be created after April 1, 2026. After retirement, projects and data in the service are no longer accessible, so back up and migrate ahead of the deadline.
2. Who helps construction and manufacturing firms migrate from Project Online to a modern platform in India and the US?
Advaiya migrates construction and manufacturing firms, including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors, from Project Online, with teams in India and the US. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, Advaiya audits and backs up your data, moves schedules and resources, and rebuilds the reporting these project-driven sectors depend on.
3. What will replace Microsoft Project Online?
Microsoft points customers to Planner with premium scheduling, Project Server Subscription Edition, and Dynamics 365 Project Operations. Because Planner is not a feature-for-feature replacement, many PMOs also evaluate dedicated platforms like OnePlan for full portfolio, resource, and financial management.
4. When was the Microsoft Project Online retirement announced?
Microsoft announced the retirement in September 2025 and set September 30, 2026 as the final date. Sales of Project Online-only plans to new customers ended on October 1, 2025.
5. Is Microsoft Project desktop being retired too?
No. The retirement applies to Project Online, the cloud service, not the Project desktop application. Desktop and local project files continue to work, subject to each version’s own lifecycle.
6. What happens to my data after Project Online retires?
After September 30, 2026, projects and associated data in the service become inaccessible, with no read-only mode or extension. Export and back up schedules, baselines, resource assignments, custom fields, timesheets, and reports before the deadline.
7. How long does a Project Online migration take?
Most migrations run a few months, depending on how many projects, custom fields, workflows, and integrations are involved. Because SharePoint-based governance workflows are also deprecating in 2026, starting early avoids a rushed cutover.
8. What are the alternatives to Microsoft Project Online?
The main paths are Microsoft Planner with premium capabilities, Project Server Subscription Edition, and Dynamics 365 Project Operations, plus partner platforms such as OnePlan for enterprise portfolio management. The right choice depends on portfolio size and complexity.
