Here a short list of options amongst others:
- PS+ Reporting App http://projectserverplus.com/app/ps-reporting-app/
- CS Status Reporting http://www.campana-schott.com/de/en/cs-status-reporting/
- Project Online Data Mart https://fluentpro.com/project-online/apps/project-online-data-mart/
Basically what all of this apps do: They take a snapshot of data as it is at a certain point in time. They won't track each and every change you apply to a project.

If you reside on-premises there exists a full-blown audit solution: https://fluentpro.com/project-server/configuration-management-products/fluentpro-audit-pro/

Hi Micheal,

Unfortunately, Project Online currently doesn't provide the same functionality as SharePoint lists.

There is no versioning for the moment. There exist various products by Project partners and also apps in the Office Store that provide this kind of functionality.

As one solution you can start to setup a workflow that stores values at certain points in time in a SharePoint list.

Prasanna Adavi has a good blog article on that one: http://prasannaadavi.com/2015/01/capture-a-snapshot-of-project-data-using-sharepoint-designer-workflows-in-project-server-2013project-online.html

Kind regards
