Microsoft is transitioning Project for the web into Planner – here’s what you need to know

Microsoft is consolidating Project for the web and Planner into a single application called Microsoft Planner. This updated Planner is already rolling out in Microsoft Teams and will be available on the web by the end of 2024.  

As part of this change, Project for the web and the associated “Project” and “Roadmap” apps in Teams will be officially retired from 1 August 2025. 

This change is, on the whole, a rebrand and rename of the functionality already in place. 

If you’re currently using Project for the web or Planner, the most important message is: your data, access, and work aren’t going anywhere. 

You can expect: 

• No disruption to your projects – all existing plans will remain in place. 

• Licensing continues as-is – Project Plan 1, 3, or 5 licenses still apply and grant access to the new Planner experience. 

• Feature continuity – timeline views, dependencies, custom fields, and other key capabilities are being carried forward into the unified app. 

There’s no immediate action required from your side – Microsoft is handling the transition and making it seamless for end users. 

You’re fully covered. The CPS Accelerator for Planner is built on Microsoft’s Planner infrastructure, so this change has no impact. 

• Your configuration, workflows, reporting, and dashboards will continue to work without interruption 

• All the automation and enhancements provided by the CPS Accelerator remain fully supported and unchanged 

• As Microsoft releases new Planner capabilities, we’ll ensure compatibility and take advantage of relevant improvements where it adds value 

In short, your investment in the Planner Power App with CPS remains safe, supported, and future ready. 

We recommend: 

• Reaching out to us if you’d like support managing internal comms or training for your teams 

• Keeping an eye on our website – we’ll be releasing a development roadmap shortly outlining the new add-on modules we’re working on for the CPS Accelerator 

We’re keeping a close eye on the roadmap and will continue to support you throughout this transition. If you have questions, just get in touch.
