2024. Microsoft Project to merge into Microsoft Planner
Microsoft has announced that on October 14, 2025 Project 2016 and Project 2019 will reach end of support. The only recommendation to customers - is to upgrade to cloud-based Microsoft Planner. Recently Planner became the primary Microsoft's project management solution and Project for the web now does not accept new registrations in favor of Planner. Launched as simple collaboration tool for Office in 2015, Planner absorbed the functions of Project and To-Do app in Microsoft Teams and now can scale easily from collaborative task management to robust project management, empowering everyone, from information workers to frontline workers to project managers. It also includes AI Copilot that helps to create buckets and tasks based on your planning goals, keep up to date on high-priority tasks, potential risks and team availability.
