    Matthew Russell Your org will have to evaluate Project for the Web (aka Planner Premium), but currently it is not even close to being a replacement for Project Online.  Hopefully Microsoft will put the resources into Planner Premium as it has a promising foundation in my opinion.   One thing to remember, if you have workflows in Project Online, Microsoft plans to disable them in April 2026.  You will need to move the workflows to a power automate solution or move to another project management tool.

    Hi RodFromm 

    Thanks for your response. That is a shame, the interface for Project for the web is much more intuitive for the people who do not use Project as a regular software but need to review/update details.

    We'll keep going as we are then

    Thanks for the headsup on the workflows, its not something we use currently but was on my to-do list to look at

    Thanks

    Matt
