Microsoft retires Project Online on September 30, 2026. Project Web App sites and data become unavailable, so migrate projects before then.

CriticalRetirementAction requiredIn 36 daysVerified

Product

Project Online

Announced

5 September 2025

Effective from

30 September 2026

Who is affected

Organizations using Project Online and Project Web App (PWA) sites for project portfolio management. Project desktop is not affected.

Admin roles to involve: Microsoft 365 admin, SharePoint admin, PMO / project admins

What administrators should do

Export or migrate Project Online / Project Web App (PWA) data before September 30, 2026. Evaluate Microsoft Planner, Project Server Subscription Edition, or another PPM tool as the destination. New Project Online tenant creation already ended on April 1, 2026.

What happens if this is ignored

After September 30, 2026, Project Web App sites and their project data are no longer available, risking permanent loss of unmigrated project data.

Why this is rated critical: severity comes from a fixed rubric — this entry is a retirement that requires administrator action. Time-to-deadline is shown separately and never changes the rating.
