Microsoft Project Online is scheduled for retirement in September 2026 Microsoft Project Online is slated for decommissioning in September 2026. Enterprises that have relied on it as their foundation for project and portfolio management need to select alternative tools and begin migration preparations. The time available for verification and migration to minimize business impact and ensure stability in the new environment is limited.

Immediate visualization of projects is difficult with multiple combined tools As an alternative after Project Online ends, if companies combine multiple Microsoft products, they will need to use Planner, Project Server, Power Automate, and Power BI separately. This often leads to fragmentation in management, automation, and reporting. As a result, project update statuses become inconsistent across departments, making it difficult for PMOs and management to instantly grasp progress, risks, and resource situations across the organization.

Real-time, end-to-end visualization for cross-departmental projects In this webinar, we will introduce Smartsheet as an alternative to Microsoft Project Online. Smartsheet enables project management, portfolio management, automation, and dashboard creation on a single platform. It supports decision-making for PMOs and management by visualizing the status of cross-departmental projects in real-time, allowing timely tracking of progress, risks, and resources. Additionally, its intuitive interface makes it easy for operational departments to use without specialized IT knowledge, and AI-powered analysis and automation can streamline routine tasks such as reporting and update requests. On the day, we will specifically explain how to manage projects without relying on multiple tool operations through a Smartsheet demo.
