Hello malshayeb,
thank you so much for your quick response.
I see, even though it seems strange to me that there is no official documentation for such a big change. Brian Smith's blog posts helped me to understand it better.
Do you think it makes a difference to use PWA instead of Project Online? And do you know of suitable replacements?
Best Regards

To clarify, I assume you’re asking about moving from Project Online to Project for the Web. While both are Microsoft tools, there are significant differences between them. Project Online (the older tool) was built for enterprise-level users who need comprehensive, high-end project management features. In contrast, Project for the Web is designed for smaller teams focused on task organization. Although Microsoft is actively working on adding new features to Project for the Web, they've made it clear that it won’t achieve full feature parity with Project Online.
In short, if you need the robust capabilities of Project Online, transitioning to Project for the Web may not be suitable. However, there are alternatives within the Microsoft ecosystem that could meet your needs. One such option is Projectum PowerPPM, which offers a range of enterprise-grade project management features.
