Project Online Ends Sept 30
Microsoft Project Online retires September 30, 2026. Organizations need a migration path that preserves their existing schedules and the professional project management capabilities their teams rely on.

Why migrate now
The Microsoft Project Landscape Is Changing. Your Next Platform Should Be an Upgrade.
Desktop Is Not the Cloud
Microsoft Project Desktop remains powerful scheduling software, but ProjectLibre Cloud adds the capabilities teams now expect: real-time collaboration, shared enterprise resources, Monte Carlo risk analysis, Project Audits, and AI Co-Pilot — all in a true SaaS platform.
Work Management Is Not a Project Replacement
Monday.com and Asana are strong for work coordination. Teams often outgrow them when projects require deeper scheduling logic, resource optimization, performance controls, and quantified schedule risk.

Your migration journey
Migrate without giving up professional project management
- 01
Import the project
Select Microsoft Project files and let ProjectLibre detect the format automatically.
- 02
Map the resources
Map imported resources to company resources, create new project resources, or leave them unassigned.
- 03
Open the real schedule
Continue with the tasks, durations, dependencies, resources, and scheduling structure in ProjectLibre Cloud.
- 04
Upgrade the platform
The migration is only the beginning. Add cloud collaboration and professional controls that go beyond a desktop schedule.
Keep the depth. Upgrade the platform.
All the professional capabilities you need
The reason to migrate is not simply to replace Microsoft Project. It is to keep professional PM capability while gaining a modern collaborative SaaS platform.

Feature comparison
Why switch to ProjectLibre Cloud?
The detailed matrix keeps the nuance: some work-management capabilities are present, but they are not equivalent to a professional project-management engine.

Beyond work management
When work management is no longer enough
Asana and monday.com are capable work-management platforms. They support collaboration, Gantt/timeline views, dependencies, AI, and workload features. The gap appears when the project itself needs a professional scheduling, resource, performance, and risk engine.
Great for work coordination ≠ full professional project management
The difference is not whether a tool can draw a Gantt chart. It is what the engine can calculate, constrain, optimize, audit, and forecast.
Work Management Tools
Strong for teamwork and coordination. More limited when the schedule becomes a contractual or resource-driven model.
- Collaboration, boards, timelines and Gantt views
Useful for coordinating tasks and communicating status.
- Dependencies and workload / capacity views
Available in varying depth and plan levels.
- Professional CPM scheduling depth
Not the same scheduling model as a dedicated professional PM engine.
- MS Project-style task constraints
No equivalent professional constraint model for rules such as Must Finish On / Must Start On.
- Resource leveling engine
Workload visibility is not automated resource leveling across a CPM schedule.
- Monte Carlo / DCMA / EVM depth
No native Monte Carlo schedule risk, DCMA schedule audit, or full SPI/CPI/TCPI project controls.
Real Project Management with ProjectLibre Cloud
Built to model the project—not just organize the work around it.
- Critical path, float and network logic
Professional scheduling calculations work from one connected project model.
- Project and task constraints
Model contractual and operational rules such as Must Finish On and Must Start On.
- Resource leveling & capacity optimization
Resolve resource conflicts against real schedule logic and availability.
- Performance management
Use Earned Value, SPI, CPI and TCPI to understand execution—not just completion status.
- Schedule quality & risk
Audit schedule quality with DCMA criteria and model uncertainty with Monte Carlo simulation.
- Professional PM + true SaaS
Real-time team collaboration without giving up the project-management engine.
Contractual constraint
“Must this task finish on the contractual date?”
Resource feasibility
“Can the schedule still finish if these resources are overallocated?”
Schedule risk
“What is the probability we will actually finish by the contract date?”
Project Online retirement creates an opportunity

Protect the project model
Preserve schedules, resources, logic and history.
Modernize team collaboration
Move from desktop-centric work to browser-based teamwork.
Upgrade capability
